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
During takeoff roll the aircraft ran off the right side of runway 28. The student pilot operating the controls for this solo flight stated that he did not hold enough left aileron into the wind to compensate for the crosswind he was experiencing. Winds at the time were out of 250 degrees at 12 knots.
