Narrative:

First supervised student solo. On the student's second solo approach, the student made a slightly high final approach. Over the runway and in landing confign the aircraft stalled and bounced. The student attempted recovery. While recovering, his foot slipped off of the right rudder applying full left rudder. Upon rudder application the aircraft left the runway and rolled into the median separating the runway and taxiway. As the aircraft rolled into the ditch, the nosewheel sheared and the propeller struck the turf. Contributing factors: poor landing, improper recovery technique. Accident was witnessed by flight instructor on first supervised solo. Student's performance was affected when foot slipped from rudder and aircraft entered grassy area. The student will be given a minimum of 5 additional hours of flight instruction in bad landing recovery before next supervised solo. Supplemental information from acn 271196: this was my first supervised solo. I feel very confident landing the aircraft but my performance was affected when my foot slipped from the right rudder and the aircraft left the runway. It would not have been prudent to try and pull aircraft back on the runway considering my angle into the grass. Corrective actions: additional pre-solo training, recovery from bad lndgs, balked lndgs from within the landing confign.

Narrative: FIRST SUPERVISED STUDENT SOLO. ON THE STUDENT'S SECOND SOLO APCH, THE STUDENT MADE A SLIGHTLY HIGH FINAL APCH. OVER THE RWY AND IN LNDG CONFIGN THE ACFT STALLED AND BOUNCED. THE STUDENT ATTEMPTED RECOVERY. WHILE RECOVERING, HIS FOOT SLIPPED OFF OF THE R RUDDER APPLYING FULL L RUDDER. UPON RUDDER APPLICATION THE ACFT LEFT THE RWY AND ROLLED INTO THE MEDIAN SEPARATING THE RWY AND TXWY. AS THE ACFT ROLLED INTO THE DITCH, THE NOSEWHEEL SHEARED AND THE PROP STRUCK THE TURF. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: POOR LNDG, IMPROPER RECOVERY TECHNIQUE. ACCIDENT WAS WITNESSED BY FLT INSTRUCTOR ON FIRST SUPERVISED SOLO. STUDENT'S PERFORMANCE WAS AFFECTED WHEN FOOT SLIPPED FROM RUDDER AND ACFT ENTERED GRASSY AREA. THE STUDENT WILL BE GIVEN A MINIMUM OF 5 ADDITIONAL HRS OF FLT INSTRUCTION IN BAD LNDG RECOVERY BEFORE NEXT SUPERVISED SOLO. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 271196: THIS WAS MY FIRST SUPERVISED SOLO. I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT LNDG THE ACFT BUT MY PERFORMANCE WAS AFFECTED WHEN MY FOOT SLIPPED FROM THE R RUDDER AND THE ACFT LEFT THE RWY. IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN PRUDENT TO TRY AND PULL ACFT BACK ON THE RWY CONSIDERING MY ANGLE INTO THE GRASS. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: ADDITIONAL PRE-SOLO TRAINING, RECOVERY FROM BAD LNDGS, BALKED LNDGS FROM WITHIN THE LNDG CONFIGN.
