What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Student pilot departed kads to khqz for second local solo flight. The intended plan was to complete 3 touch and goes in the pattern at hqz then return to ADS. During the first landing at hqz the student reported landing was smoothe but was slightly off centerline.
Upon initiating the take-off roll the student attempted to correct back to center line but started to swerve. This induced a series of oscillations that started to get more dramatic. Upon realizing that it was not correctable the student reduced throttle to idle. At this time the aircraft was pointed roughly 30 degrees left of center line. The student reported that the aircraft swerved one more time to the right and then back to the left. On the last turn to the left the aircraft departed the runway and hit a drainage ditch. The most recent weather reported winds of 310 at 6KTS, this would have been roughly a 4-5KT crosswind.
Due to the aircraft hitting the drainage ditch which was roughly 4FT wide by 8 ft long and estimated 4 ft deep. The aircraft sustained substantial damage resulting in the nose wheel fork and right main gear to be torn off. Also, there was evidence of structural damage to the right wing due to rippling of the skin.
