Factual narrative
THE STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING TOUCH-&-GO LANDINGS ON RWY 11. DUE TO A WIND SHIFT, THE ACTIVE RWY WAS CHANGED TO RWY 4. THE STUDENT STATED THAT DURING HIS 1ST PATTERN FOR A LANDING ON RWY 4, HIS APCH WAS HIGH & FAST. AS THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN, HE LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE ACFT THEN SWERVED TO THE LEFT, WENT OFF THE RWY, ENCOUNTERED SOFT TERRAIN & NOSED OVER. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
