Read the full NTSB narrative
The student pilot reported that she was practicing touch-and-go landings. During the seventh landing, the approach was stable. As soon as the aircraft touched down, it took a hard right turn on the right main landing gear. The right wing and propeller contacted the surface. The student was thrown to the right side, but was able to pull herself back into position and gain control of the aircraft. The student reduced power as the aircraft veered back to the left, eventually coming to a stop. At the time of the accident, the wind was variable at four knots to calm.
