NTSB narrative
The solo student pilot of the airplane reported that, during the landing flare the airplane porpoised and veered left. He applied full engine power and attempted to go-around however, the airplane continued to veer left. Concerned the airplane would not become airborne, he aborted the go-around and applied brakes. The airplane exited the runway and impacted a parked vehicle and hanger. The airplane sustained substantial damage to both wings and fuselage. The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable cause
The solo student pilot's improper landing flare and bounced landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and impact with a parked vehicle and hanger.

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status, cause areas. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
