Narrative:A 17 HOUR STUDENT PILOT WAS SCHEDULED FOR ONE HOUR OF SOLO LANDING AND TAKEOFF PRACTICE ON THE AFTERNOON OF HIS INITIAL SOLO FLIGHT. ON HIS FIRST TOUCH AND GO LANDING THE AIRPLANE LANDED HARD AND BOUNCED TWICE BEFORE CONTROL WAS REESTABLISHED BY THE PILOT. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, THE AIRPLANE BEGAN TO YAW TO THE LEFT. AFTER BECOMING AIRBORNE, THE AIRPLANE WAS OBSERVED TO DROP THE LEFT WING AND INITIATE A TURN TOWARDS A PARALLEL RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED THAT HE REDUCED POWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO REGAIN CONTROL, LANDING ACROSS THE PARALLEL RUNWAY. THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER COMING TO REST IN THE INVERTED POSITION. THE RUDDER WAS FOUND STUCK TO THE LEFT AS RESULT OF THE DAMAGE INCURRED BY THE NOSE GEAR DURING THE HARD LANDING.
Probable Cause: HARD LANDING DUE TO THE PILOT'S INADEQUATE FLARE. A FACTOR WAS THE BLOCKED RUDDER.
