THE STUDENT PLT REPORTED THAT THE ACFT HAD INITIALLY TOUCHED DOWN ABOUT MID-FIELD ON THE TURF RWY, AND THAT THE AIRSPEED WAS ABOUT 75 KTS (NORMAL FINAL APPROACH SPEED IS 65 KTS).

HE APPLIED FULL BRAKING AFTER THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PREVENT THE ACFT FROM RUNNING OFF THE END OF THE RWY. HE NOTED THAT THE RWY WAS 'DAMP' AT THE TIME. HE HAD MADE SEVERAL SUCCESSFUL FULL-STOP LDGS ON THIS RWY SHORTLY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. THE STUDENT PILOT HAD ABOUT 6 HOURS TOTAL SOLO TIME, ALL OF WHICH WAS ACQUIRED IN THIS MODEL ACFT.
