Analysis
During the takeoff phase of a touch and go landing the student pilot lost directional control of the aircraft. The aircraft exited the runway to the left, struck a ditch and overturned. The student's instructor, who was a witness to the accident states that shortly after touchdown there was a squealing of tire on the runway and subsequent investigation revealed a skid mark from the left tire. This instructor states that: 'there is a possibility the pilot inadvertently had his foot on the left brake throughout the takeoff roll'.
