Event Location
Probable Cause
The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in a runway excursion and nose-over.
Full Narrative
The student pilot reported that, during the landing roll, he applied brakes, but the airplane began to veer to the left. He corrected with right rudder, but the airplane exited the runway to the left and nosed over.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and rudder.
The student pilot reported that there were no preimpact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
About the time of the accident, the automated weather reporting station, located on the airport, reported that the wind was from 220° at 5 knots. The student pilot was landing the airplane on runway 24.
