What happened
The flight was conducted for training purposes, with the student pilot focused on practicing touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. During the sequence of maneuvers, the event occurred on the sixth landing attempt. As the aircraft touched down, it began to yaw significantly to the left side of the runway.
The student pilot recognized the deviation and applied corrective control inputs in an effort to maintain alignment with the runway centerline. Despite these efforts, the aircraft continued its departure from the paved surface. The airplane exited the left side of the runway and subsequently collided with a drainage ditch located adjacent to the airfield.
The investigation
Following the incident, investigators conducted a post-accident examination of the wreckage to determine if mechanical issues contributed to the loss of control. The inspection revealed no evidence of any preexisting malfunctions or failures in the aircraft systems prior to the impact.
