Incident Overview
A student pilot conducting their first solo flight experienced a loss of directional control during the second landing, resulting in the aircraft veering off the runway and nosing over. The student had previously completed four or five touch-and-go landings with a certified flight instructor (CFI) on board. After those sessions, the CFI deplaned and signed the student off for solo flight.
Sequence of Events
The student pilot's first solo landing was accomplished without incident. However, on the second landing, directional control was lost. The aircraft veered off the runway into deeper snow and subsequently nosed over.
Runway Conditions
The runway had been plowed, but it remained covered with patches of ice and snow. The pilot reported that the runway surface was quite rough in places.
Remarks
No further details regarding aircraft type, registration, injuries, or damage were provided in the source. The incident highlights the challenges of operating on runways with residual ice and snow, even after plowing.
