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
Loss of directional control occurred during the student pilot's second attempted touch and go. The aircraft veered let, struck a berm with the nosewheel and then nosed over. FAA inspectors attempted to physically check flight controls but movement was limited due to impact damage.
