Accident Overview
A student pilot on a first solo flight experienced a loss of directional control during an attempted touch-and-go landing. The aircraft struck a runway light and subsequently nosed over.
Pilot Account
The student pilot described the sequence of events: "I put in full power then wind started to blow from the right and I started to move to the left because of wind and p factor. I stomped on right rudder to correct for the problem and the plane started to skip so I let go and then it turned left into grass. It was fine until I hit a ramp in the grass and launched the plane up, but it did not have enough airspeed to take off, so the plane went down and hit on the nose and flipped it. I should have pulled power but I panicked."
Sequence of Events
According to the pilot, the loss of control began shortly after applying full power. The pilot noted a wind from the right and the effects of p-factor, which caused the aircraft to drift left. Attempting to correct with right rudder, the pilot reported that the aircraft began to skip. The pilot then released the rudder, and the aircraft turned left, entering the grass. In the grass, the aircraft struck a ramp, which launched it upward. Without sufficient airspeed to become airborne, the aircraft descended, contacted the ground nose-first, and flipped over.
The pilot acknowledged that pulling power would have been the appropriate action but stated that panic prevented that response.
