Incident Overview
A student pilot, flying solo, experienced a runway excursion during landing. The aircraft touched down misaligned with the runway centerline after the pilot used rudder to correct for drift. The wing tip struck the ground, causing the airplane to slide off the runway edge.
Sequence of Events
While on final approach, the student pilot applied rudder to correct for drift. The airplane made contact with the runway surface while not aligned with the runway heading. During the landing rollout, the wing tip struck the runway, and the aircraft departed the paved surface. The nose wheel subsequently collapsed after contacting a shallow ditch at the edge of the runway. The airplane then flipped onto its back.
Damage and Injuries
The accident resulted in substantial damage to both wings, engine mounts, vertical fin, and rudder. The solo pilot, a student, sustained no injuries.
Investigation Findings
No probable cause was stated in the available information. The sequence of events indicates a loss of directional control during landing, but no causal factors were specified.
