Analysis
The student plt reported he picked up a slight crosswind during his descent for landing. The acft touched down on the main landing gear wings level, started to veer left & did not respond to right rudder pressure. The plt applied max braking but the acft ran off the rwy striking a lighted taxiway sign & a ditch about 50 ft from the rwy edge. A mechanicchecked the controls after the accident & found nothing wrong with them.
