Accident Narrative
A student pilot was conducting a landing approach. The approach was proceeding normally until the aircraft crossed the runway threshold. At a height of approximately 35 feet, the pilot encountered moderate to strong turbulence. Subsequently, the aircraft pitched up by ten degrees and entered a moderately steep left bank.
The pilot applied full power and attempted to execute a go-around. However, the aircraft struck the left edge of the runway about 500 feet from the approach end. After impact, the aircraft spun around and came to rest in a grass and mud area approximately 150 feet to the left of the runway.
