Incident Overview
A solo student pilot was practicing touch and go takeoffs and landings. On the third landing, the student planned to execute a full stop landing. Tower personnel reported that the airplane skipped on touchdown and then began to roll out. Moments later, the student pilot failed to maintain directional control and applied hard, uneven right braking. The airplane subsequently exited the right side of the runway and collided with a fence that parallels the runway.
Aircraft Examination
Examination of the brakes and tires disclosed no evidence of any preexisting locked brake condition. Additionally, the rudder trim was found to be offset to the right.
Sequence of Events
- The student pilot conducted multiple touch-and-go landings before the incident.
- On the final approach, a full-stop landing was intended.
- After touchdown, the aircraft skipped, indicating an irregular landing.
- During the rollout, directional control was lost.
- Hard, uneven braking on the right side caused the aircraft to veer.
- The aircraft left the runway pavement on the right side and struck a fence.
