Summary:

皇冠体育app student, on his second solo flight, was returning to land on Runway 19 having completed a cross-country exercise. 皇冠体育app reported wind was from the south-west, which resulted in a slight crosswind from the right. 皇冠体育app approach appeared normal but, just after touching down, the aircraft became airborne again. 皇冠体育app student stated that, before he could assess the situation, the right wing dropped slightly, causing the aircraft to drift to the right of the edge of the runway. Ahead of the aircraft鈥檚 flight path, at the airfield boundary, was a fence and adjacent line of trees. 皇冠体育app student considered that there was insufficient distance remaining to climb over the trees and, before he could land, the aircraft struck the fence and came to a stop.

皇冠体育app student considered that his lack of experience accompanied with a crosswind were causal factors.
