Incident Details
A student pilot was conducting a landing approach at an airport. Prior to entering the traffic pattern, the pilot checked the windsock and the tetrahedron located at midfield to assess current wind conditions. The wind was observed to be at a right angle to runway 7R, blowing from approximately 340 degrees at an estimated 10 miles per hour.
Sequence of Events
The pilot proceeded to enter a standard 45-degree approach from the northeast. A left 90-degree turn onto the base leg was initiated, during which the aircraft had a tailwind. The pilot ensured that the aircraft remained inside the center line of the glider runway and then transitioned to the final approach sequence.
During the rollout onto final approach, the aircraft was blown across the southern boundary fence. As the aircraft crossed back over the fence, the left wing struck a fence post.
No other details regarding aircraft damage, pilot injuries, or subsequent actions were provided in the source.
