| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The student pilot and his flight instructor completed three touch-and-go landings before the student pilot departed on a solo flight. The student performed two uneventful full-stop landings. He reported that on the third takeoff, after reaching an altitude of 100 – 200 ft above ground level, the airplane yawed and rolled to the left. He was unable to maintain control of the airplane and subsequently performed a forced landing on a baseball field. The airplane contacted a drainage ditch, which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.
Postaccident examination of the airplane flight control system revealed no mechanical anomalies that would have precluded normal airplane operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain airplane control during climb and subsequent impact with terrain.
