Incident Overview
A student pilot was conducting touch-and-go landing practice. After entering downwind for the runway, the first landing was a normal touch-and-go. On the second landing, the airplane bounced and the right wing rose rapidly. The student pilot responded by applying right aileron and left rudder. The airplane then touched down again on the right main landing gear and nosewheel.
Sequence of Events
At the moment of the second touchdown, the pilot still had full left rudder applied. The airplane abruptly veered to the left and departed the runway. During the landing roll on the soft ground beside the runway, the nosewheel dug into the surface, causing the airplane to nose over.
Aircraft and Pilot Information
The pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane. The aircraft came to rest inverted.
Investigation Findings
No probable cause was determined from the available information. The investigation did not identify any specific mechanical issues that could have contributed to the event.
