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
The student pilot was practicing takeoffs and landings on his third supervised solo flight with a left quartering wind at 10 KTS. Upon landing, the student began his takeoff roll. Subsequently, the aircraft veered off the runway, traveled about 600 ft, and hit a dirt ramp. After hitting the ramp, the nose gear and propeller were bent backward, the aircraft bounced, and the right wing was damaged. The student stated that he had hit a rabbit. However, an inspection of the runway revealed no evidence of a dead rabbit and no other signs of hitting a rabbit were found.
