Incident Overview
A solo student pilot was conducting landing attempts in challenging crosswind conditions. The wind was approximately 90 degrees to the runway, with a velocity of 24 knots gusting to 32 knots.
First Approach
On the initial approach, the student felt uncertain about the conditions and decided to execute a go-around. This maneuver was completed successfully.
Second Approach
During the second landing attempt, the student managed to touch down on the runway but could not maintain proper alignment with the runway centerline. He then elected to initiate another go-around.
Loss of Control
As the student attempted the second go-around, directional control was lost. The aircraft departed the left side of the runway, where it ground-looped and came to rest. The landing gear collapsed during the event.
Outcome
The aircraft sustained damage resulting from the ground loop and landing gear collapse. No other information about occupants, injuries, or aircraft specifics is provided in the source.
