Summary
On January 24, 2019, a Cessna R172 (N736TB) was involved in an incident near Ogden, UT. All 2 people aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.
The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The student pilot's failure to maintain the runway heading during a touch-and-go landing and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action, which resulted in the airplane departing the left side of the runway, impacting snow, and nosing over.
The student pilot and flight instructor reported that after conducting maneuvers they proceeded to the airport to practice touch-and-go takeoff and landings. The student pilot entered a right base for runway 17. He landed the airplane uneventfully, but the airplane was off the runway centerline. The student pilot raised the flaps and added power. The airplane continued forward off the centerline and impacted snow along the edge of the runway. The airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing and vertical stabilizer.
The flight instructor and student reported that there were no mechanical anomalies with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
This incident is documented in NTSB report WPR19CA072. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N736TB.
