## Narrative

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

STUDENT PILOT ON SOLO FLIGHT. STUDENT PERFORMED TWO LANDINGS TO FULL STOP. ON THIRD LANDING STUDENT STATED THAT EVERYTHING FELT NORMAL BUT DURING THE ROLLOUT THE AIRCRAFT TURNED LEFT AND DEPARTED THE RUNWAY. STUDENT STATED THAT HE APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER, BUT THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO THE LEFT. ONCE HE WAS IN THE GRASS, HE DISCONTINUED THE CORRECTIVE INPUTS AND CONTINUED STRAIGHT AHEAD. AFTER HE STOPPED AND WAS CLEARED BY CONTROL, HE TAXIED THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE RUNUP AREA. STUDENT REPORTED THAT THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED NORMALLY.

INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT SHOWED CONTROL CONTINUITY. CONTROLS WERE SMOOTH WITH FULL RANGE OF MOVEMENT. CONTROL SURFACES MOVED APPROPRIATELY WITH THE CONTROLS. NOSE WHEEL STEERING RESPONDED APPROPRIATELY TO RUDDER PEDAL MOVEMENT. BRAKES DID NOT APPEAR TO BE STICKING AND THE AIRCRAFT ROLLED FREELY. AIRCRAFT TIRES SHOWED NO SIGNS OF SKIDDING. THE TIPS OF THE PROPELLER WERE SLIGHTLY CURLED FROM CONTACT WITH THE TAXIWAY WHICH APPEARED TO HAPPEN AS HE WAS TAXIING BACK ON TO THE TAXIWAY.
