Accident Description
A pilot on his first solo flight in the airplane lost control during an attempted go-around, resulting in the right wing striking the ground. The airplane subsequently came to rest on the runway.
Pilot Experience and Flight Purpose
The pilot had accumulated 107.9 hours of dual instruction prior to the flight. The purpose of the flight was to practice takeoffs and landings.
Sequence of Events
While on the downwind leg, the pilot selected approach flaps but did not verify their position. On short final, the pilot perceived an excessive descent rate and initiated a go-around. During the go-around, the airplane drifted to the left, then rolled to the right while continuing to descend until it impacted the ground.
Postcrash Examination
Postcrash examination of the engine and propeller revealed impact damage consistent with the propeller contacting the ground at a high airplane pitch attitude. The propeller blade angle was consistent with a "power on" condition.
Conclusion
The accident involved a loss of control during a go-around maneuver on the pilot's first solo flight. The specific factors leading to the loss of control were not identified in the source.
