Analysis
The non-certificated student plt was making an unauthorized night solo x-country flt. He attempted a landing at his destination with a left 60 deg, 12 kt x-wind. During the landing roll the acft veered to the right and the plt correctedby applying 'extreme' left rudder. The acft then veered off the left side of the rwy, striking the rwy edge lip which collapsed the nose gear. The plt stated that during the landing roll, wind shear was encountered which resulted in the loss of directional control. However; neither wind gusts or wind shear were reported by tower personnel or other acft operating in the area at the time of the accident.
