Narrative:
The female pilot struck a tree during her first solo flight. The aircraft crashed to the ground and burst into flames. The flight student was killed.

The accident results from the following sequence:
- sudden and excessive attitude at the beginning of the roll on landing resulting in a new take-off;
- a left track deviation without altitude gain, likely related to the effects of the engine generated by the rapid power-up to return to a normal situation ;
- the striking of a tree seriously damaging the aircraft;
- collision with the ground followed by fire.

With primary flight control continuity established, it is likely that inappropriate piloting actions were at the origin. Mastery of the trajectory after take-off was probably made difficult by:
- the large attitude complicating the detection of the deviation to the left and only allowing no exit from the second, unstable flight regime;
- the stress caused by this unknown and sudden situation for a pilot in first solo flight.
The accident occurred at the end of a long training course with a cumulative number of landings, indicating slow progress.
