THE STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS. AFTER TOUCHING DOWN ON HIS FIRST LANDING, HE CONFIGURED THE AIRCRAFT FOR TAKEOFF. IMMEDIATELY AFTER APPLYING POWER, HE OBSERVED ANOTHER PLANE (UNKNOWN MAKE & MODEL) LANDING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. IN ORDER TO AVOID A COLLISION, HE CUT THE POWER, APPLIED BRAKES AND TURNED TO THE RIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED ACROSS AN AREA OF GRASS IMMEDIATELY NEXT TO THE RUNWAY AND THE NOSE GEAR COLLIDED WITH THE EDGE OF A PAVED TAXIWAY.
