The student pilot was on his first solo flight. He reported he touched down on the right main wheel first and the airplane pivoted rapidly to the right. When he regained directional control, the airplane was pointed toward a runway sign. He then elected to turn further right to avoid the sign. The runway sign struck the left horizontal stabilizer, and in addition, the rear empenage was damaged. This was the first student pilot the flight instructor had soloed. The winds were calm, and the student pilot's total flight experience was 21.4 hours.
Probable Cause: the failure of the student pilot to maintain directional control during the touchdown and landing roll.
