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 student plt was cleared by his CFI for his second solo flt immediately following a period of dual traffic pattern instruction. As he began his takeoff run he failed to use sufficient right rudder quickly enough to prevent the acft from eventually departing the paved rwy surface. As the acft ran off the left side of the rwy the plt brought the pwr to idle and applied the brakes. Before stopping, however, the nosewheel entered a drainage ditch and the acft flipped over on its back.
