## Narrative

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

STUDENT PILOT STATED: ON JULY 25, 2017, PILOT WAS ON A SOLO FLIGHT ON RUNWAY 180 AND WAS PERFORMING PATTERN WORK. IN PARTICULAR, PRACTICING TOUCH-AND-GO LANDINGS. THE

WINDS UPON TAKE OFF WERE 150 AT 8 KNOTS. AFTER TAKEOFF AND PRIOR TO THE EVENT, WINDS WERE SHIFTING BETWEEN 150 DEGREES AND 180 DEGREES BETWEEN 7 AND 8 KNOTS.

ON THE 5TH LANDING, UPON TOUCHDOWN, THE NOSE OF THE PLANE WAS OFF CENTER SLIGHTLY, RIGHT OF THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY. PILOT ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT FOR THE WIND

INFLUENCE AND USED TOO MUCH RUDDER AND NOT ENOUGH AILERON. THIS CAUSED THE PLANE

TO SWERVE TOWARDS THE CENTERLINE. IN REACTION, PILOT COMPENSATED WITH RIGHT RUDDER AND RELAXED THE AILERONS. PILOT COULD FEEL THE WIND PICKUP FROM THE EAST AND DID NOT REACT FAST ENOUGH BY CORRECTING AILERONS INTO THE WIND. THE PLANE DRIFTED OFF OF THE RUNWAY AT BRAVO 3 TAXIWAY, HITTING THE TAXIWAY MARKER, AND COMING TO A STOP ABOUT 30 FEET OFF OF THE RUNWAY. AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO PROPELLER TIPS AND LEFT GEAR FAIRING.
