   WITH THE INSTRUCTOR ONBOARD, THE CFI DEPLANNED AND SIGNED THE STUDENT 
   OFF FOR FIRST SOLO FLIGHT. THE FIRST LANDING WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITHOUT 
   INCIDENT, BUT ON THE SECOND LANDING, DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS LOST, AND 
   THE AC FT VEERED OFF THE RUNWAY INTO DEEPER SNOW AND NOSED OVER. THE 
   RUNWAY HAD BEEN PLOWED, BUT WAS STILL COVERED WITH PATCHES OF ICE AND 
   SNOW. THE PLT SAID THE RUNWAY SURFACE WAS QUITE ROUGH IN PLACES.
