Runway excursion involving a Piper Aircraft Corp PA-38-112, VH-CFR, Archerfield, QLD on 26 September 1994

The pilot was a student on his second solo flight. During the approach and roundout phase of the second circuit, the aircraft ballooned. The student pushed the controls forward and a heavy landing, nosewheel first, eventuated. The nose gear collapsed and the propeller struck the runway. The aircraft slewed to the right and came to rest within the flight strip.
