THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON A CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING FLIGHT. HE STATED THAT THE VOR WAS INOPERATIVE BUT HE RECOGNIZED THE VOR BY A ROAD THAT PASSED NEAR IT. THE PILOT BECAME DISORIENTED AND WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE A CHECKPOINT. HE DESCENDED TO 1500 FEET, SPOTTED A FIELD AND DECIDED TO LAND. HOWEVER ON LANDING HE CAME IN TOO FAST AND THE AIRCRAFT RAN OFF THE END OF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH A TELEPHONE POLE AND A TREE.
