NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

According to an FAA inspector who arrived at the accident site within a few minutes of the accident, the pilot related she was practicing touch and go landings. On her sixth landing, she lost directional control, the airplane veered to the right, and she applied the brakes. The airplane nosed down upon the application of brakes, the right wing struck the ground, and the airplane went off the right side of the runway.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing. A factor associated with the accident is the pilot's excessive use of the brakes.
