Student Pilot Departs Runway During Landing Rollout (N4359D)

What happened

The incident occurred while a student pilot was conducting a local flight within the airport traffic pattern. During the final phase of the approach, the aircraft touched down on the runway. As the airplane began its landing rollout, it departed from the left side of the paved surface. While leaving the runway environment, the aircraft collided with several pieces of airport infrastructure. The specific objects struck included an airport sign, a runway light fixture, and a taxiway light.

Findings

Post-accident information indicates that the student pilot reported no mechanical anomalies or system failures with the airplane prior to or during the event. Environmental conditions at the time of the accident featured winds from 100 degrees at a speed of 6 knots. The departure from the left side of the runway suggests a loss of directional control during the ground roll phase.
