Analysis
During ground landing roll on a touch and go practice session, the solo student pilot allowed the aircraft to drift off the side of the runway and overcorrected in the opposite direction. After applying full power to abort the landing, she realized the flaps were fully extended, and raised the flaps. The aircraft departed the side of the runway and nosed over in rough terrain.
