Incident Overview
A student pilot was conducting a touch-and-go landing on Runway 7 when the aircraft encountered control difficulties. The pilot reported a left, quartering headwind during the approach. As the aircraft descended to approximately 10 feet above ground level (AGL), the left wing was dipped into the wind. Subsequently, both the left wing and the nose dropped, leading to the aircraft impacting the runway surface.
Sequence of Events
Following the impact, the aircraft veered off the left side of the runway. The pilot's report indicated that the wind conditions at the time were from 040 degrees at 10 knots, gusting to 17 knots. The touch-and-go landing maneuver was initiated under these conditions.
Aircraft Damage
During the occurrence, the engine mounts, nosewheel attach point, and propeller sustained damage. No other damage items were specified in the source. The extent of damage to the airframe beyond these components is not detailed.
Wind Conditions
The pilot reported the wind as 040 degrees true at 10 knots with gusts up to 17 knots. The wind direction resulted in a left quartering headwind relative to Runway 7's orientation.
Pilot Details
The pilot involved was a student pilot. No further information about the pilot's experience or training was provided.
