Incident Overview
A student pilot was conducting a solo touch-and-go landing when the aircraft began to swerve uncontrollably after applying full throttle. The pilot initiated an abort and attempted to regain directional control, but the airplane departed the left side of the runway and continued onto the grass. The nose wheel subsequently struck a depression just before a paved taxiway, causing damage to the nose landing gear and firewall.
Sequence of Events
According to the pilot's account, the touch-and-go maneuver was performed on a runway. After touchdown, full throttle was applied. Immediately, the airplane began swerving left and right. The pilot decided to abort the takeoff and focused on maintaining directional control. Despite these efforts, the aircraft veered off the left side of the runway and traversed the grass area. The nose wheel then encountered a depression adjacent to a paved taxiway, resulting in structural damage to the nose landing gear and firewall.
Aircraft Damage
The incident resulted in damage to the nose landing gear and the firewall. No other damage or injuries were reported. The aircraft was subsequently recovered for inspection.
