Incident Overview
A student pilot was involved in a landing incident after a misunderstanding of runway assignments. The pilot had been cleared to land on runway 34R but instead overflew the base leg and turned final to runway 34L.
Sequence of Events
The student pilot turned in close behind a Cessna 150 that was cleared to land on runway 34L. The tower instructed the student pilot to go-around. The aircraft was then observed flying the length of the runway while deviating left and right, before crashing in an open field north of runway 34L. After touchdown, the aircraft went through a creek and collided with an embankment on the far side.
Pilot's Statement
The pilot reported that he attempted the go-around with full flaps down.
