Runway excursion involving a Cessna Aircraft Company 150M, VH-LOZ, Mareeba, QLD on 28 November 1993

The pilot was conducting practice solo circuits using runway 10. The wind was blowing from approximately 115 degrees at 15 knots. As he flared the aircraft to land, it ballooned. The pilot applied power to assist the touchdown, but the aircraft turned to the left, touched down and ran off the runway into a drainage ditch.
