THE STUDENT PILOT, DURING HIS SECOND SUPERVISED SOLO FLIGHT, PLANNED TO PERFORM A TOUCH AND GO LANDING. THE STUDENT'S FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR, WHO WITNESSED THE ACCIDENT, REPORTED THAT HIS STUDENT'S PATTERN AND APPROACH APPEARED NORMAL. WHEN THE AIRPLANE CROSSED THE RUNWAY'S THRESHOLD, THE AIRPLANE WAS '...A LITTLE HIGH AND FAST.' THE CFI FURTHER REPORTED THAT ON THE TAKEOFF PORTION, THE FLAPS WERE RETRACTED, ENGINE POWER SOUNDS INCREASED, AND THE AIRPLANE VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND LEFT. THE AIRPLANE THEN VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY, COLLIDED WITH A BERM AND NOSED OVER. AN EXAMINATION OF THE WRECKAGE REVEALED THAT THE FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM WAS INTACT, AND THE TIRES AND BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONAL.
