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 acft bounced, went off the runway and nosed over during landing. The student pilot was on a supervised solo flight and was practicing touch and go landings. During this landing he made a hard landing and bounced back into the air. The student attempted to go-around but the acft drifted off the runway. When the gear went into the grass on the left side the acft swerved into a ditch and collapsed the nose gear.
