Analysis
The certified flt instructor (CFI) stated that he was instructing a 10 hour student pilot. He continued to state that they were doing touch and go's and had applied power for the second takeoff when the aircraft began to veer to the right side of the rwy. The student attempted to correct and applied full right rudder (nosewheel steering). The CFI applied full left rudder and left brake while retarding the throttle but the aircraft continued off the right side of the runway, struck a drainage ditch and nosed over.
