Upon arriving at the destination airport, the flight was cleared for a touch-and-go landing. During the go phase of the first landing, the student pilot relinquished the flight controls without coordinating the exchange with the certified flight instructor. The airplane veered to the right, but efforts by the CFI to correct the right drift were unsuccessful. The airplane continued off the runway surface and nosed over into the grass. The post-accident examination of the airplane wreckage revealed that both wings had leading edge and spar damage. The on-scene examination of the normal wheel brake system, nose wheel assembly, rudder controls and related system failed to disclose a mechanical malfunction or component failure. The CFI did not report a mechanical problem with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The CFI inadequate supervision, and failure to maintain directional control during the attempted touch-and-go landing.
