Read the full NTSB narrative

The student pilot reported that the airplane touched down, with full flaps, about 75-80 miles per hour. About 100 ft after touching down, the airplane veered left into the wet grass and mud. The airplane subsequently nosed over and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to both wings and the vertical stabilizer. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
