Analysis
The student plt entered the traffic pattern for a touch-&-go landing. During touchdown, the acft bounced. He applied full power & moved the flap selector to the 'up' position, but the acft yawed to the left. It veered off the rwy, traveled onto a graded downsloping area & nosed over. The student's instructor did not see the accident, but believed that he may have used insufficient rudder to counteract the eng's torque during the go-around.
