Event Summary
A student pilot was practicing touch-and-go takeoffs and landings. After landing, the pilot retracted the flaps and applied full throttle. Realizing the airplane was left of the runway centerline, the pilot applied right rudder to correct the position. Subsequently, the pilot applied too much left rudder, causing the airplane to veer to the left.
Sequence of Events
The left main landing gear departed the runway surface as the airplane veered left. The airplane was heading toward a taxiway light, so the pilot steered the airplane into the infield grass area. While in the grass, the airplane struck a drainage pipe. The impact caused the nose landing gear to collapse. The airplane then skidded to a stop upright on the taxiway.
Damage
The nose landing gear collapsed upon striking the drainage pipe. The airplane sustained damage as a result of the impact and subsequent skid.
