Narrative:

My student had completed approximately 12 hours of dual instruction and 10 lndgs on the day of the event. His lndgs were generally good but occasionally landed off- center. During his first solo, the first 2 lndgs were good. The third landing was left of center. There was a light right crosswind, 7 KTS at 30 degrees right. The student appeared to neutralize the ailerons and apply right rudder. The aircraft turned right across runway, missing the runway lights. It continued off the right side of the runway coming to rest 5 rows into the bean field, parallel to runway. There was no damage to the student, or to the aircraft. The base cause was probably student tension which led to his overctl and failure to maintain directional control. He also failed to apply adequate braking. (His last 3 lndgs before solo were to a full stop.) the aircraft was removed from the bean field, inspected by me and the local mechanic and flown within 30 mins of the event.

Title: SMA, UNDER GUIDANCE BY SPI, EXPERIENCES LOSS OF ACFT CTL AND SUBSEQUENT RWY EXCURSION.

Narrative: MY STUDENT HAD COMPLETED APPROX 12 HRS OF DUAL INSTRUCTION AND 10 LNDGS ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT. HIS LNDGS WERE GENERALLY GOOD BUT OCCASIONALLY LANDED OFF- CTR. DURING HIS FIRST SOLO, THE FIRST 2 LNDGS WERE GOOD. THE THIRD LNDG WAS L OF CTR. THERE WAS A LIGHT R XWIND, 7 KTS AT 30 DEGS R. THE STUDENT APPEARED TO NEUTRALIZE THE AILERONS AND APPLY R RUDDER. THE ACFT TURNED R ACROSS RWY, MISSING THE RWY LIGHTS. IT CONTINUED OFF THE R SIDE OF THE RWY COMING TO REST 5 ROWS INTO THE BEAN FIELD, PARALLEL TO RWY. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE STUDENT, OR TO THE ACFT. THE BASE CAUSE WAS PROBABLY STUDENT TENSION WHICH LED TO HIS OVERCTL AND FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CTL. HE ALSO FAILED TO APPLY ADEQUATE BRAKING. (HIS LAST 3 LNDGS BEFORE SOLO WERE TO A FULL STOP.) THE ACFT WAS REMOVED FROM THE BEAN FIELD, INSPECTED BY ME AND THE LCL MECH AND FLOWN WITHIN 30 MINS OF THE EVENT.
