Accident Description
A student pilot with 17 hours of total flight time was conducting a supervised solo flight. During the third landing of the flight, the aircraft touched down on the runway. The airplane bounced upon touchdown and began to drift toward the left side of the runway. The pilot did not properly compensate for the existing right crosswind. The aircraft subsequently exited the runway, and the nose wheel sank into soft mud. This caused the airplane to nose over onto its back.
Sequence of Events
The accident occurred during the third landing of a supervised solo flight. After touchdown, the aircraft bounced. While in the air or on the ground, it started drifting left. The pilot failed to apply appropriate crosswind correction. The airplane then departed the runway surface. The nose wheel encountered soft mud, resulting in the aircraft overturning.
Probable Cause
The pilot's failure to properly compensate for the existing right crosswind, leading to loss of directional control after touchdown.
