## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

UPON LANDING ON RUNWAY 13R AT VICTORIA REGIONAL AIRPORT, TEXAS, THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A WIND GUST WHICH RAISED THE LEFT WING AND CAUSED THE RIGHT WING TIP TO CONTACT THE GROUND.  THE SOLO STUDENT PILOT WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE AIRCRAFT.  FRICTION CAUSED BY A SIDE-LOAD ON THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR TIRE AND RIGHT WING TIP CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO FLIP OVER, RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT.  THE STUDENT PILOT WAS NOT INJURED.
