The operator reported that the flight was scheduled as a solo cross country flight for the 47-hour student pilot. The flight arrived at TYR and was topped-off with fuel. The student pilot reported that the second leg of his flight was cleared for takeoff from the 7,200-foot long, by 150-foot wide asphalt runway, behind a Continental passenger jet. Upon rotation, the airplane encountered wake turbulence from the departed jet, and the airplane was "pushed hard left." The pilot added that first instinct was to get the airplane back on the runway and in doing so, the airplane impacted the grass on the left side of the runway. The airplane continued across a crossing runway causing the airplane to become airborne. The winds at the time of the mishap were reported from 180 degrees at 8 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during takeoff. A contributing factor was the encounter with wake turbulence.
