Synopsis
A student pilot was returning to the originating airport after completing his first solo cross-country flight. During the landing attempt, the stall warning horn activated before touchdown, and the airplane bounced. The pilot attempted a go-around, but the stall warning sounded again, and the airplane banked left and impacted the ground. The pilot reported no mechanical malfunctions.
Sequence of Events
According to the student pilot's statement, the stall warning horn activated when the airplane was approximately 30 feet past the runway numbers. The airplane then bounced, rising to about 10 feet above the runway. Recognizing that the airspeed was too slow, the pilot applied full power to initiate a go-around. The airplane climbed to roughly 20 feet, at which point the stall warning horn sounded again. Subsequently, the airplane banked to the left and struck the ground.
Pilot Remarks
The student pilot stated that he did not believe any mechanical malfunctions contributed to the accident sequence. No other details were provided regarding the airplane's configuration or any injuries.
