What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: no type of malfunction of the aircraft could be determined, the student pilot exercised poor judgement. During a second supervised solo flight Mr. Richard smith had completed one touch and go landing on runway 26 at Madison County Airport on June 17, 1995, at approximately 1015 am. On his second approach he stated that his landing was fine, and he added power for take-off, then he remembered that his instructor had instructed him to make the second landing a full stop. He attempted to abort the take-off, he said he pulled the mixture instead of the power, then he became confused and looked down at the power. When he looked up again, he saw that he was departing the runway to the left. He stopped the aircraft on the grass, then decided to taxi back onto the runway. The grass was very tall and required excessive power to get started taxiing. Once the aircraft was moving he saw a ditch ahead but could not stop before running into it.
