Narrative:
On my third touch and go, I landed (touched ground) and as I was pushing throttle full power I stepped a little too sharply on the left rudder. The reason for that, I was slightly right of center of runway and tried to center the plane at which time the plane veered severely to the left. I pulled bac on the yoe and pulled the throttle all the way bac that slowed down the plane. At that time I crossed the runway into the dirt area separating the runway from the ramp. As I regained control, I stopped the plane in the middle of ramp at which time the tower called and ased me to hold right there. I did for a few mins, then I ased the control tower if I could taxi to paring since I was in the middle of the taxiway so I can get out of the way of any incoming traffic. The control tower advised me to stay right there, shut off the engine, and call the FBO. I did that. I called the FBO. They came and too the plane to the shop for inspection. A city employee came by to ch on what happened and advise, the FBO not to remove the plane next time unless somebody came to ch it first. The FBO came and inspected the plane when I called them thining that it was a routine trouble call. I rode in a golf cart with someone to the repair shop from where the plane was driven bac (middle of the taxiway). After I got the repair center the fire truc was there and a paramedic ased me if I was all right? I said I was fine and continued to get my belongings from the airplane and proceeded to the chout des.

Title: C172 STUDENT PLT LOST ACFT CTL AFTER HE TOO SHARPLY PUSHED THE L RUDDER TO CORRECT THE ACFT POS ON TOF.
Narrative: ON MY THIRD TOUCH AND GO, I LANDED (TOUCHED GND) AND AS I WAS PUSHING THROTTLE FULL PWR I STEPPED A LITTLE TOO SHARPLY ON THE L RUDDER. THE REASON FOR THAT, I WAS SLIGHTLY R OF CTR OF RWY AND TRIED TO CTR THE PLANE AT WHICH TIME THE PLANE VEERED SEVERELY TO THE L. I PULLED BAC ON THE YOE AND PULLED THE THROTTLE ALL THE WAY BAC THAT SLOWED DOWN THE PLANE. AT THAT TIME I CROSSED THE RWY INTO THE DIRT AREA SEPARATING THE RWY FROM THE RAMP. AS I REGAINED CTL, I STOPPED THE PLANE IN THE MIDDLE OF RAMP AT WHICH TIME THE TWR CALLED AND ASED ME TO HOLD RIGHT THERE. I DID FOR A FEW MINS, THEN I ASED THE CTL TWR IF I COULD TAXI TO PARING SINCE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TXWY SO I CAN GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANY INCOMING TFC. THE CTL TWR ADVISED ME TO STAY RIGHT THERE, SHUT OFF THE ENG, AND CALL THE FBO. I DID THAT. I CALLED THE FBO. THEY CAME AND TOO THE PLANE TO THE SHOP FOR INSPECTION. A CITY EMPLOYEE CAME BY TO CH ON WHAT HAPPENED AND ADVISE, THE FBO NOT TO REMOVE THE PLANE NEXT TIME UNLESS SOMEBODY CAME TO CH IT FIRST. THE FBO CAME AND INSPECTED THE PLANE WHEN I CALLED THEM THINING THAT IT WAS A ROUTINE TROUBLE CALL. I RODE IN A GOLF CART WITH SOMEONE TO THE REPAIR SHOP FROM WHERE THE PLANE WAS DRIVEN BAC (MIDDLE OF THE TXWY). AFTER I GOT THE REPAIR CTR THE FIRE TRUC WAS THERE AND A PARAMEDIC ASED ME IF I WAS ALL RIGHT? I SAID I WAS FINE AND CONTINUED TO GET MY BELONGINGS FROM THE AIRPLANE AND PROCEEDED TO THE CHOUT DES.
