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
During a second solo flight, the student pilot reported that the first landing was made a little flat. The nose wheel began to shimmy and all power was reduced as the airplane began to veer to the left. The student corrected with right rudder, however, the airplane continued to travel off the runway and collided with a snowbank.
