THE STUDENT HAS A TOTAL OF ABOUT 1.4 HRS OF SOLO TIME IN FOUR PREVIOUS SOLO FLIGHTS, THIS IS OUT OF A TOTAL OF ABOUT 74 HRS OF FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS. AFTER AN HOUR OF DUAL INSTRUCTION ON 05/02/2006 THE INSTRUCTOR, ^PRIVACY DATA ^, CLEARED THE STUDENT SOLO. ON THE FIRST PATTERN AND LANDING ATTEMPT, THE STUDENT FELT HE WAS TOO HIGH AND WENT AROUND. ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTOR, THE STUDENT LANDED IN THE FIRST 1/4 OF RUNWAY 01 AT FLYING "W" AIRPORT. (THE R/W IS ABOUT 3500 FEET LONG). AFTER LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT WAS ROLLING AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED, THEN THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO INCREASE SPEED AND THE MAIN TIRES BEGAN SMOKING. THE STUDENT STATES THAT THE ENGINE INCREASED SPEED. HE STATES HE HAD ONE HAND ON THE YOKE AND ONE HAND ON THE THROTTLE WHILE APPLYING THE FOOT BRAKES. HE ALSO STATES THAT HE PUSHED THE THROTTLE IN ALL THE WAY AND PULLED IT OUT TO TRY TO SLOW THE ENGINE, HOWEVER THE ENGINE REMAINED AT A HIGH IDLE. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED OFF THE DEPARTURE END OF THE R/W AND STOPPED ABOUT 100 YARDS FROM THE R/W AFTER THE NOSE GEAR DEPARTED THE AIRCRAFT. THE PROP AND LEFT WING WAS DAMAGED SUBSTANTIALLY AFTER CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. (-23 AMENDMENT) A PILOT WITNESS, ON THE GROUND, REPORTED HEARING A LOUD BANG FROM THE AIRCRAFT AND THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE FAILURE, HOWEVER NO TIRE ON THE AIRCRAFT WAS BLOWN. THE BANG WAS HEARD ABOUT THE TIME THE STUDENT PILOT REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN MANIPULATING THE THROTTLE. THE STUDENT PILOT COULD NOT BE SURE HIS HAND WAS ON THE THROTTLE. AN ON SITE EXAMINATION OF THE THROTTLE CABLE AND INTERNAL CARBURETOR PARTS SEEM TO SHOW THAT THEY WERE CONNECTED AND FUNCTIONAL, HOWEVER THE CARBURETOR WAS DAMAGED EXTERNALLY WHEN THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE GROUND.
