Accident Details
During the landing phase of a solo cross-country flight, the student pilot was attempting to land on runway 27. The airplane bounced on its main landing gear during the initial touchdown. The pilot responded by flaring more, but the airplane bounced a second time.
To abort the landing, the student pilot added full engine power to execute a go-around. As the power was applied, the airplane rolled to the left. The pilot applied right aileron and rudder controls to correct the roll, but these inputs were ineffective. The airplane continued into a grass area off the left side of the runway.
During the sequence, the left wing and propeller impacted the ground, and the engine separated from its mounts. The accident resulted in substantial damage to the aircraft.
Pilot and Aircraft Information
The student pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane. Data retrieved from the airplane's primary flight display also revealed no anomalies. The reported wind at the airport around the time of the accident was from 340 degrees at 5 knots.
Conclusions
The accident investigation did not identify any mechanical or systemic failures. The sequence of events was initiated by a bounced landing, followed by an unsuccessful go-around attempt due to an uncontrolled roll.
