Sequence of Events
A student pilot was performing a touch-and-go landing when the airplane veered off the runway. On the first landing attempt, the pilot applied right rudder to compensate for what he described as 'a small amount of westerly wind.' Immediately upon touchdown, the plane veered hard to the right and exited the runway. The pilot then applied full power, raised the flaps, removed carburetor heat, and climbed out.
During the second touchdown, the aircraft again veered to the right and left the runway. After exiting the runway, the aircraft encountered mud in a shallow ditch, causing the nose gear to separate. The aircraft then nosed over and came to rest inverted.
Aircraft Damage
The nose gear separated from the aircraft after striking mud in a ditch. The aircraft nosed over and came to rest inverted. No other damage items are specified in the report.
