Human Factors
I start the day with a flight to be sure the student is proficient to make a solo flight in the pattern. We went to make the flight 3 touch and go and the student maintained the correct speed and altitude along the pattern. The whole landing the student landed on the centerline with safe operation of the aircraft. After that I found proficient the student and signed the endorsement. Student went solo and made his takeoff departing Runway 9 wind was 120 at 4 KTS. While supervising the solo I saw the student landing in the centerline about the aiming points. After landing I saw the airplane moving to the right and then to the left; after that the airplane went again to the right ending out of the runway. ATC talk with the pilot and he decided to turn off the engine and wait to be removed from the area. Rescue arrive and a tow cart to help to remove the airplane from the area and get back to the apron.
I started the plane to fly solo. Normal takeoff; flew the pattern in an altitude of 1;000 FT; communicated with the Tower saying 'reporting capitol building for a full stop.' 'ATC cleared to land.' Lower the RPM put 10 degrees of flap and turned base leg. In base leg I put 25 degrees of flap; lowered the RPM descending to final. Descending to final have a normal landing when I touch down I putted a little more break than needed and the airplane started sliding. I tried to fix it and it become worst ended sliding out of the runway. Airport authority rescue came and helped me get the airplane back to the ramp.
A student pilot on his first solo landing; with his instructor observing on the ramp; applied too much rudder correction and brake which resulted in the aircraft departing the runway without damage or injury.
