The Cessna 172SP overturned on landing at Mt Hagen Airport, PNG.
The student pilot was on the second solo flight, four months after the first solo flight. He had to perform orbits on approach to allow another aircraft to land first. This caused the aircraft to be high on the approach. Following a high rate of descent, the aircraft bounced and flipped over.
