Approach and Landing
A solo student pilot was landing at a remote, gravel airstrip. He visually inspected the airport windsock and determined that the winds were 'light and variable,' favoring runway 20. The approach was normal until the airplane descended below the adjacent tree line, at which point the rate of descent increased. The pilot was unable to arrest the descent prior to touchdown, and the airplane hit the runway hard and bounced twice.
Loss of Control
Following the hard landing and bounces, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control. The airplane turned 45 degrees from its original runway heading. In an attempt to abort the landing, the pilot added full power. However, the airplane departed the right side of the runway.
Collision with Trees
After exiting the runway, the left wing of the airplane struck a stand of trees. No further details about the outcome or condition of the aircraft or pilot were provided in the source.
