NTSB Factual Report

The solo student pilot lost directional control of the airplane during landing, and the airplane ground-looped. The student pilot reported that during landing, a gust of wind picked up the right wing, and the left wing struck the runway. A certificated aircraft mechanic who inspected the airplane, said the left wing's par was bent during the ground-loop. The pilot indicated that there were no preaccident mechanical problems with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing. Contributing to the accident was a gust of wind.
