Event Location
Probable Cause
The student pilot's failure to maintain lateral control during the aborted landing.
Full Narrative
The student pilot reported that he was performing touch-and-go's during a solo flight in the pattern. During the fifth landing, the airplane drifted over the runways left edge. He attempted to abort the landing by increasing power, but he did not apply enough right rudder. The airplane banked hard to the left prior to colliding with a fence. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings.
The student pilot reported that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
