The student pilot completed a 1-hour training flight with his instructor, and then departed on his first solo flight. The student pilot stated that he caused the airplane to veer 20 degrees to the left and depart the runway during the landing. The airplane struck a snowbank and continued into a ditch that ran parallel to the runway. The nose wheel settled into the ditch, and the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted. The student pilot reported 18 hours of flight experience, and that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane. During the autumn months prior to the accident, the State's Agency of Transportation identified the airport for a re-grading project to eliminate the ditch. The project, completed 7 months after the accident, eliminated the ditch hazard.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing. A factor in the accident was the ditch that ran parallel to the runway.
