Factual narrative

THE STUDENT PILOT STATED THAT UNEVEN BRAKING DURING LANDING CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO SWERVE OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. HE FURTHER ADDED THAT HE APPLIED FULL POWER SHORTLY THEREAFTER DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS HEADING FOR A DITCH. THE AIRCRAFT CONTACTED THE DITCH AND TREES BEFORE BECOMING AIRBORNE AFTER WHICH THE PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
