What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23)This student pilot was cleared for his second supervised solo flight by his instructor. He was instructed to accomplish three takeoffs and landings. He accomplished one pattern and landing but had directional control difficulties, according to the tower controller. On the second takeoff, the student allowed the aircraft to drift to the left after liftoff so that he overflew the air carrier ramp on departure. During the landing attempt from this pattern, the student allowed the aircraft to touch down on the left side of the runway. After landing, the aircraft was allowed to depart the left side of the runway into the infield grass. The student then elected to continue across the infield to the taxiway. He then requested clearence back to the parking ramp and terminated the flight. The aircraft contacted a taxiway light fixture with a wheel pant which resulted in a scrape on the pant and a broken taxiway light fixture. No other damage occurred. The student has been counseled and received additional instruction.
