The student pilot was conducting solo circuits and landings when the accident occurred. Following several circuits and landings the student pilot executed a touch and go landing when after becoming airborne, the aircraft pitched down excessively and the nose gear contacted the ground. In the process the pilot lost directional control of the aircraft which overturned and fell into its port side. The pilot mentioned to the owner of the aircraft that with his experience on this type of aircraft, it appeared that he made the incorrect control input under pressure. The pilot sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital treatment.
