Accident Overview
A student pilot was conducting landing practice when the aircraft began to slide sideways during the first landing. The pilot elected to perform a go-around and increased throttle. The aircraft drifted off the runway and became airborne.
Pilot's Account
The student pilot reported that after becoming airborne, he realized the flaps were still in the full-down position. Recalling his flight instructor's admonition that taking off with full flaps was incorrect, he retracted the flaps to the full-up position.
Subsequent Maneuvers
Following flap retraction, the aircraft settled onto the ramp area. The student pilot then attempted another takeoff by applying full power. The aircraft accelerated and struck two parked aircraft on the ramp. The collision sequence ended with the aircraft coming to rest after impacting the parked airplanes.
