Analysis
Drg a practice touch-&-go landing, the plt raised the flaps after making a normal lndg & applied full power for a go-around. However, the acft veered off the left side of the rwy & contacted soft ground. Subsequently, the nose gear collapsed & the left wing was damaged. The student's instructor was standing near the rwy when the acdnt occurred. He believed the student did not apply enough rudder to compensate for eng torque.
