STUDENT PLT LEAVES RWY AFTER HARD LNDG WITH BRAKE SET. COMPLAINS THAT ACFT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR PERSON WITH LARGE FEET.

Narrative

I WENT TO THE ARPT EARLY TO PRE-HEAT THE ENG. AT XA30 I PULLED THE PLANE OUT OF THE HANGAR; STARTED THE ENG; AND RECEIVED GND CTL PERMISSION TO CROSS THE ACTIVE RWY TO PICK UP MY INSTRUCTOR. I THEN LEARNED THAT MY INSTRUCTOR WAS SICK AT HOME AND WAS UNABLE TO FLY. BY TELEPHONE; MY INSTRUCTOR ENCOURAGED ME TO GET SOME SOLO PRACTICE ON LNDGS. I RECEIVED TWR PERMISSION TO DEPART ON RWY 18 TO THE S PRACTICE AREA. AT THE END OF 1 HR; I RETURNED TO THE FIELD TO FIND THAT SURFACE WINDS HAD INCREASED SHARPLY; PROBABLY DOUBLING IN FORCE. THE WINDS WERE VARIABLE BTWN 110 DEGS AND 80 DEGS AT 12 KTS. I ENTERED A R DOWNWIND FOR RWY 18. ON FINAL; USING 20 DEGS OF FLAP; I WAS OVERSHOOTING AND I APPLIED PWR AND WENT AROUND. WHEN I WAS AGAIN CLRED TO LAND; I TRIED 20 DEGS OF FLAPS AGAIN BUT WAS OVERSHOOTING AGAIN AND WENT TO 30 DEGS OF FLAP. I HELD THE CTRLINE OK IN A SLIP TO THE L BUT IT REQUIRED ALMOST FULL R RUDDER TO HOLD IT. I TOUCHED DOWN ON THE L MAIN FIRST; AND SEEMED TO BE OK; BUT WHEN THE R MAIN TOUCHED IT SEEMED THAT A GIANT GUST SLAMMED ME TO THE R; THE WINGTIP STRUCK THE GND AND THE PROP STRUCK THE GND. AS QUICKLY AS IT HAPPENED; IT WAS OVER. THE ENG CONTINUED RUNNING; AND AS I HAD LEFT THE RWY; I TAXIED ACROSS THE GRASS TO THE TXWY AND ADDED PWR TO GET ON THE HARD SURFACE. THE TWR ASKED IF I REQUIRED ASSISTANCE AND I SAID; 'NO; IT SEEMS TO BE MOVING OK;' AND I RETURNED TO THE HANGAR. I WAS NOT INJURED AND THE DAMAGE APPEARED TO BE MINOR; BUT I WAS STUNNED AND BADLY SHAKEN BY THE INCIDENT. MY INSTRUCTOR BELIEVES THAT IN HOLDING SO MUCH R RUDDER; I ALSO HELD FULL R BRAKE ON TOUCHDOWN. (I WEAR SIZE 14 SHOES IN AN AIRPLANE THAT SEEMS DESIGNED FOR ABOUT SIZE 9 SHOES AND HAD PREVIOUSLY DRAGGED SOME BRAKE EVEN ON TKOFS.) I HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT NO ADJUSTMENTS ARE POSSIBLE ON CESSNAS.
