Incident Overview
A student pilot, on his second solo flight, planned a touch-and-go landing. After a normal landing, the pilot immediately set the flaps to zero degrees and applied full power. Upon adding power, the airplane veered left. The pilot reduced power and steered the airplane back to the right. As the pilot added power a second time, the airplane again veered left, exited the hard surface runway, encountered rough terrain, and nosed over.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the tail and both wings. The pilot reported no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane. The exact nature of the damage was not specified further in the report.
Pilot Experience
The pilot was a student on his second solo flight, indicating limited experience. However, the report does not provide additional details on the pilot's total flight hours or specific training background.
Sequence of Events
- The pilot performed a normal landing.
- Immediately after touchdown, the pilot set flaps to zero and applied full power for a touch-and-go.
- The airplane veered left upon initial power application.
- Pilot reduced power and corrected to the right.
- Upon second power application, the airplane again veered left, departing the runway surface.
- The airplane then nosed over after encountering rough terrain off the runway.
No Mechanical Issues
The pilot explicitly reported no pre-existing mechanical failures or malfunctions. The report does not suggest any aircraft systems contributed to the loss of control.
