Cessna 152, G-OFRY

Summary:

On completion of two circuits and landings with an instructor on Runway 05, the pilot under instruction was to fly solo circuits and landings for the remainder of the detail. The initial takeoff and circuit was uneventful but the aircraft landed to the left of the centreline due to a slight crosswind from the right. Once stabilised in the ground roll full, power was applied and, as the aircraft accelerated, it began to ‘pull’ to the left. It departed the paved surface, and crossed disused Runway 17/35 before coming to rest.
