NTSB Factual Report

The student pilot stated that he was on his first solo cross country flight. He executed a go-around on the first approach for landing at the destination airport, and the second approach for landing was normal. He stated that as the airplane touched down, the wind pushed the airplane to the right. The airplane traveled off the right side of the runway and impacted a snow bank,, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing spar. The pilot reported to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector that the airplane bounced, and that he was attempting to correct for a left crosswind. He also stated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or anomalies with the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot's loss of directional control during the landing rollout, resulting in a runway excursion.
