## Narrative

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

DURING TOUCH AND GO DURING FIRST SOLO FLIGHT, STUDENT PILOT MISMANAGED CONTROLS BY NOT HAVING HIS FEET ON THE RUDDER PEDALS DURING ACCELERATION CAUSING A RUNWAY EXCURSION. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE RUNWAY THROUGH THE GRASS, ACROSS A TAXIWAY AND CAME TO REST IN THE GRASS NEXT TO THE TAXIWAY. AFTER COMMUNICATION WITH ATC THE STUDENT TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT ONTO AN ADJACENT TAXIWAY AND THEN TO THE RAMP. AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE, NONE FOUND. A MAINTENANCE RECORD ENTRY WAS MADE TO DOCUMENT INSPECTION.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
