Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The accident occurred while the pilot was making a touch and go landing on his second supervised solo flight. After touchdown on his first landing, the pilot inadvertently pulled back on the control yoke while adding power and raising the flaps. The nose wheel raised and the aircraft veered off the left side of the runway. The nose and left main gear failed as the aircraft skidded through a ditch that was located between the runway and a parallel taxiway.
