Incident Overview
A student pilot was conducting a landing when the airplane touched down slightly left of the runway centerline but aligned with the runway direction. Shortly after touchdown, the airplane began to veer to the left. The pilot applied increasing right rudder input in an attempt to correct the swerve.
Go-Around Attempt
Believing the airplane had sufficient airspeed to become airborne, the pilot applied full throttle and released the right rudder. The airplane then departed the side of the runway. Despite the runway excursion, the pilot considered that the airplane had enough airspeed to safely lift off.
Subsequent Events
The airplane did become airborne but was unable to climb. It settled back to the ground and came to a stop very quickly. The pilot reported that the engine was not sputtering or missing during the sequence.
Terrain and Conclusion
The location where the airplane came to rest was approximately 40 feet lower in elevation than the runway surface. No further details were provided in the report regarding the extent of damage or any injuries.
