Incident Details
A student pilot, during the third landing of his first supervised solo flight, experienced a loss of directional control after touchdown. The aircraft drifted left while the pilot was flaring, prompting a corrective input with right rudder. However, following touchdown, the airplane veered to the right and departed the runway surface.
Sequence of Events
According to the investigation, the student pilot attempted to correct the veer back to the left. When the aircraft did not respond, he applied full brakes. The airplane subsequently struck a runway sign, which caused it to come to rest on its nose and left wing tip off the right side of the runway.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained damage from the collision with the runway sign and the subsequent ground contact. The investigation did not specify any injuries or provide further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, or location.
