What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot statment: on my second traffic pattern solo during my first landing by myself after touching down on centerline smoothly with throttle at the idle position when I gently applied my breaks the tail started to swing back and forth out of control, I attempted to maintain control by applying rudder but was unsuccessful and went off the runway into the grass where I applied more brake to stop the
Plane. I then contacted Sanford tower to notify them I went off the runway and turned the plane off as I did not think I could maneuver it back onto the concrete. Then ARFF appeared on scene, asked how much fuel was on board and asked to take a picture of my student pilots license. Sanford airport and acron aviation then appeared on scene and towed the plane out of the grass back to the maintenance hanger.
