Narrative

THE CFI AND STUDENT PILOT HAD COMPLETED 3 TOUCH AND GOES WIT HOUT 
   INCIDENT, AND ON THE FOURTH ATTEMPT THE CFI WAS GOING TO FLY JUST ABOVE 
   THE RUNWAY TO ASSIST THE STUDENT JUD GE HIS FLARE HEIGHT. THE LEFT MAIN 
   GEAR TOUCHED DOWN AND A GO AROUND MANUEVER WAS INITIATED. THE STUDENT 
   ADDED FU LL POWER AND THE CFI RETRACTED THE FLAPS TO THE 20 DEGREE 
   POSITION. THE ACFT DESCENDED, DRIFTED TO THE LEFT, ST RUCK A SNOW BANK 
   AND CAME TO REST INVERTED. A SLIGHT RIGHT CROSS WIND EXISTED AT THE 
   TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THE PRE-SOLO STUDENT HAD 9 HOURS OF FLIGHT 
   EXPERIENCE, ALL IN THE CESSNA 152.
