Read the full NTSB narrative

The first and second pilots, both certificated flight instructors, were conducting touch-and-go landings on runway 24. Just after lift-off, with the second pilot flying, the engine suddenly lost power. The first pilot assumed control of the airplane and performed an emergency landing in the overrun area off the departure end of the runway. The airplane touched down, struck a snow berm, and nosed over. The airplane received damage to the nose gear, right wing tip and inboard end of the right wing. A subsequent inspection of the engine did not reveal any mechanical malfunction.
