Event Details
On final approach, a student pilot experienced anxiety about performing a landing with a crosswind, as she had received no prior training in crosswind landing techniques. While on approach, the wind pushed the aircraft to the left. The pilot elected to abort the landing and initiated a go-around.
Sequence of Events
During the go-around, the pilot became confused and could not recall whether the nose should be pitched up or down. The aircraft initially pitched down, resulting in the left wing impacting the ground. The airplane then cartwheeled before coming to rest in an upright position. The left wing was separated into three pieces.
Damage Assessment
The aircraft sustained structural damage, with the left wing separated into multiple pieces. The extent of damage to other components is not specified in the source.
