Narrative:The solo student pilot reported that, while on final, “there was turbulence,” and “just before landing [he] felt a strong crosswind pushing [him] to the right.” Subsequently, the airplane touched down, veered off the right side of the runway, encountered a small ditch, and impacted a fence.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the rudder.
The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The automated weather observation system at the accident site reported that, about the time of the accident, the wind was from 180° at 10 knots. The pilot landed on runway 5.
Probable Cause: The student pilot’s failure to maintain directional control of the airplane while landing with a tailwind.
