Accident Overview
A student pilot, flying his second supervised solo flight, planned to perform a touch-and-go landing. The flight instructor, who witnessed the accident, reported that the student's traffic pattern and approach appeared normal. As the airplane crossed the runway threshold, it was described as "a little high and fast."
Sequence of Events
During the takeoff portion of the touch-and-go, the flaps were retracted, engine power sounds increased, and the airplane began to veer to the right and left. Subsequently, the airplane veered off the runway, collided with a berm, and nosed over.
Wreckage Examination
An examination of the wreckage revealed that the flight control system was intact, and the tires and brakes were functional. No other anomalies were reported from the inspection.
