What happened
During a series of touch-and-go landings, an aircraft veered off the left side of the runway and experienced a nose-over. Following the initial excursion, the pilot attempted a second touch-and-go landing. Upon applying power for the subsequent takeoff, the aircraft again veered to the left side of the runway, resulting in a loss of control.
The aircraft continued off the left side of the runway into wet dirt, where it eventually nosed over onto its back. The pilot was not injured during the event.
The investigation
During the investigation, the pilot reported that there were no mechanical failures or malfunctions involving the engine or the airplane during the flight. The pilot noted that during the excursion off the runway, he applied all available right rudder but also stated that he stayed with the power too long.
