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
While landing, the student pilot lost control and the aircraft swerved off the runway, collided with a ditch and nosed down. The student stated that she flared for landing and added too much power and right rudder which resulted in the loss of control.
