Analysis
According to the student plt, the acft crabbed to the left just prior to touchdown. Upon touchdown, the acft veered left and traveled off the rwy into muddy grass. Despite the plt's use of brakes and right rudder the acft continued down an embankment where it came to rest on the nose and right wing.
