Incident Overview
During a solo cross-country flight, a student pilot was returning to the airport and configured the airplane for a full stop landing. The approach included leveling off over the runway numbers and reducing engine power to idle. According to the pilot, the airplane stalled before the main landing gear contacted the runway surface.
Sequence of Events
After touching down on the runway, the airplane immediately veered to the left. The pilot applied full right rudder and brake input, but the airplane did not respond. It departed the runway onto the gravel area, struck a ditch, crossed over a taxiway, and eventually collided with an airport location sign.
Pilot Report
The student pilot stated that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane. The pilot's account indicated that the stall occurred prior to touchdown, which was followed by a loss of directional control during the landing roll.
Aircraft and Damage
The extent of damage to the airplane was not specified in the source. The runway excursion involved impacts with a ditch, a taxiway, and an airport sign, but no further details are available.
Investigation Information
No probable cause has been determined from the available information. The investigation may focus on the pilot's actions and the stall event described by the student pilot.
