Incident Details
A student pilot on his first supervised solo flight experienced difficulties during the second landing approach. The accident occurred on Runway 9, with winds reported from 130 degrees at 13 knots.
Sequence of Events
As the aircraft flared, it began to porpoise. Simultaneously, the aircraft drifted to the left due to crosswind conditions. The student pilot responded by applying full power and initiating a go-around. However, the aircraft touched down on the runway and subsequently ran off the runway surface.
The student then closed the throttle and attempted to regain directional control. Despite these efforts, the aircraft collided with runway signs. The impact separated the left main landing gear, and the aircraft came to rest in a ditch.
Damage
The aircraft sustained damage including separation of the left main gear. The extent of other damage was not specified in the investigation source.
