A STUDENT PLT ON HIS FIRST SOLO FLT; SECOND TKOF; LOSES CTL OF HIS C152 AND ENDS UP NOSE DOWN OFF THE SIDE OF RWY 22 AT ZZZ; US.

Narrative

DAY OF FIRST SOLO FLT. I FLEW FOR APPROX .9 HRS WITH MY CFI TO MAKE SURE; PRIOR TO MY SOLO; THAT EVERYTHING WAS OPERATIONAL AND I FELT READY TO SOLO THAT DAY. AFTER LETTING THE INSTRUCTOR OFF; I OBTAINED CLRNC FROM GND CTL TO TAXI TO RWY 22 AT ZZZ. I PROCEEDED TO TAXI; COMPLETED A RUN-UP ACCORDING TO THE CHKLIST. AFTER OBTAINING ATC CLRNC TO TAKE OFF; I COMPLETED; SOLO; A CORRECT TKOF WITHIN THE TFC PATTERN AND PROPER LNDG. AFTER TAXIING OFF OF THE RWY; I OBTAINED GND CLRNC TO; YET AGAIN; TAXI TO THE HOLD SHORT LINE OF RWY 22. THE WX WAS GOOD AND WIND APPROX 5 KTS AT 130 DEGS. ATC INSTRUCTED ME TO POS AND HOLD AT RWY 22. I PROCEEDED TO POS AND HOLD AS INSTRUCTED. ATC ADVISED THAT THEY WERE VERY BUSY AND I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A FEW MINS. I WAITED FOR APPROX 5 MINS; THEN WAS CLRED FOR TKOF. DURING TKOF MY SPD WAS INCREASING AS I APPLIED MORE R RUDDER TO COMPENSATE FOR TORQUE; AT APPROX 45-50 KTS THE PLANE STARTED TO VEER SHARPLY TO THE L. I APPLIED MORE AND MORE R RUDDER TO COMPENSATE AND THE PLANE HEADED OFF THE RWY TO THE L. I PULLED THE THROTTLE AND BOUNCED A FEW TIMES WHERE THE PLANE ENDED UP NOSED INTO A SOFT GRASSY MARSH OFF OF THE RWY. I FOUND MY HEADSET WHICH WAS THROWN FROM MY HEAD AND REQUESTED INSTRUCTIONS FROM ATC TWICE. NO REPLY FROM ATC. I THEN CUT THE MASTER PWR SWITCHES AND THE IGNITION TO THE PLANE AFTER I CLBED OUT OF THE PLANE. I STARTED TO WALK AWAY AT WHICH TIME I SMELLED FUEL. I THEN TURNED AROUND AND CUT THE FUEL VALVE ON THE FLOOR OF THE ACFT. THEN I PROCEEDED TO WALK OVER TO THE ARRIVING FIRE CREW. I AM NOT QUITE SURE WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROB. DUE TO MY LACK OF EXPERIENCE; I AM QUITE AWARE THAT THE LIKELIHOOD IS MY ERROR. HOWEVER; AFTER THE INCIDENT; I WAS TOLD BY SOMEONE WHO WAS INVOLVED WITH LOOKING AT THE PLANE; AFTER THE FACT; THAT THERE WERE SKID MARKS ON THE RWY VEERING IN MY PATH SHARPLY TO THE L. WHEN SPEAKING TO FSDO WHO HAD QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INCIDENT FOR ME; HE RELATED TO ME THAT HE WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT THE SKID MARKS ON THE RWY BY THE FLT SCHOOL WHOM HE SPOKE WITH PRIOR TO OUR CONVERSATION AND IS LOOKING INTO IT TOMORROW AS WELL AS SENDING A MAINT PERSON TO INSPECT THE ACFT. APPARENTLY; AS WE STAND; IT IS GOING DOWN AS A PLT ERROR. I AGREE WHOLLY THAT WITH MY LACK OF EXPERIENCE THAT IS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE. YET; I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THERE COULD HAVE VERY LIKELY BEEN A MECHANICAL FAILURE ON THIS ACFT DUE TO THE OBVIOUS LACK OF MAINT OF THE SCHOOL'S ACFT. IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE; AFTER HOLDING POS ON THE RWY WITH BRAKES DEPRESSED FOR SO LONG; THAT I COULD HAVE HAD A BRAKE LOCK UP ON TKOF CAUSING THE LACK OF CTL. I BELIEVE; TO PREVENT AN OCCURRENCE LIKE THIS HAPPENING AGAIN; WOULD BE PROPER DETAILED PERIODIC INSPECTIONS OF THE ACFT; ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAINING STUDENTS LIKE MYSELF WITHOUT THE AIR TIME AND EXPERIENCE NEEDED TO HANDLE SUCH A PROBABLE MALFUNCTION. IN CLOSING; I INTEND TO CONTINUE A CAREER IN AVIATION AND WILL CONTINUE MY FLT TRAINING. MOST LIKELY WITH A DIFFERENT SCHOOL. I AM EXTREMELY THANKFUL THAT NO HARM CAME TO ANY PERSONS AS A RESULT OF THIS INCIDENT AND AM TRULY BLESSED TO WALK AWAY FROM THIS.
