Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The student pilot’s failure to maintain control of the airplane during a go-around, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall.

Factual narrative

On the day of the accident, the student pilot performed three takeoffs and landings with his flight instructor before he was cleared by the instructor for solo takeoffs and landings. The student stated that he performed two uneventful solo takeoffs and landings. During the third landing, the airplane landed hard, bounced, and the pilot initiated a go-around. During the go-around, the airplane stalled, and its left wing impacted the ground. The airplane exited departed the runway and came to rest in an upright position in a grassy area adjacent to the runway. The airplane sustained substantial damage to its left wing. The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
