Event Location
Probable Cause
The student pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing roll and subsequent go-around.
Full Narrative
While landing the airplane, the solo student pilot felt the airplane yaw to the left. After applying right brake and right rudder, the airplane continued to drift left towards the edge of the runway. The pilot applied full power and pulled back on the control yoke in an attempt to go-around. The airplane lifted up and turned right colliding with a parked airplane and a hanger. The pilot shut down the airplane and egressed without assistance. Substantial damage was sustained to the airplane's wings and fuselage. No airframe or engine anomalies were discovered or reported.
