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 touch-and-go landings. After touching down on his first landing, he configured the aircraft for takeoff. Immediately after applying power, he observed another plane (unknown make & model) landing from the opposite direction. In order to avoid a collision, he cut the power, applied brakes and turned to the right. The aircraft skidded across an area of grass immediately next to the runway and the nose gear collided with the edge of a paved taxiway. At that time, the nose gear collapsed and the propeller impacted the asphalt. The student stated that he had made the appropriate radio calls on the UNICOM frequency while in the traffic pattern.
