## Narrative

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

STUDENT PILOT STATES HE WAS PERFORMING MULTIPLE SOLO TOUCH AND GOES AT DWH AIRPORT ON RUNWAY 17R. DURING THE LAST TOUCH AND GO, HE THOUGHT HE HAD TOUCHED DOWN, SO HE RAISED THE FLAPS AND APPLIED FULL THROTTLE. IMMEDIATELY THE AIRCRAFT DROPPED AND TOOK A HARD LEFT TURN. STUDENT THEN APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER WITH SOME SUCCESS BUT FELT APPLYING ANYMORE WOULD CAUSE THE AIRCRAFT TO TURN TOO SHARP. HE THEN PULLED THE THROTTLE AND APPLIED BOTH BRAKES HARD, BUT SKID OFF THE RUNWAY AND HIT SOME AIRPORT SIGNS CAUSING MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER AND BOTH WHEEL PANTS.
