N15752
PIPER PA-28-140
THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON A LOCAL FLIGHT AND RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT TO PRACTICE LANDINGS. JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN ON HIS SECOND TOUCH-AND-GO, THE NOSE WENT TO THE RIGHT. LEFT RUDDER WAS APPLIED TO RE-ALIGN THE AIRCRAFT TO THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY. AT ABOUT THAT POINT IN THE LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT TURNED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND THE PILOT LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL. THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, AND SUBSEQUENTLY, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE PLANE WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED.
