## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) STUDENT PILOT WAS ON HIS FIRST SOLO FLIGHT. AFTER SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING TWO TOUCH AND GO'S THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON HIS THIRD TAKEOFF ROLL WHEN HE LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE PILOT STATED THAT AS HE APPLIED POWER FOR HIS TAKEOFF THE AIRCRAFT TURNED TO THE LEFT. APPLICATION OF RIGHT RUDDER HAD NO EFFECT ON THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE LEFT SIDE OF RUNWAY 25 AND TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP, SHEARING THE NOSE GEAR OFF IN THE PROCESS.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
