Analysis
The student plt had made 2 landings at the arrowhead arpt, then returned to Creve Coeur arpt where he made a full stop landing. He took off again, and reportedly, applied carburetor heat on downwind. As he continued, he applied full flaps for the landing. However, the plt reported that he encountered a slight x-wind which blew the acft to the left. He stated that he over corrected to the right, but when he tried to add power there was no response from the engine. Therefore, he reportedly made a forced landing beside the rwy. During the landing roll, the nose gear encountered soft, muddy terrain & nosed over. At the spirit of st louis arpt, the wind was from 190 deg at 8 KTS. At the lambert arpt, the wing was from from 150 deg at 14 KTS.
