The aircraft is owned by flight school based at Midland Airpark and was piloted by a student pilot practicing solo takeoffs, landings and traffic pattern work. Upon first landing, student pilot states he experienced a crosswind from the south, causing the aircraft?s right main gear to deviate from the surface into the safety area north of runway 25. The student pilot was unable to correct. The student pilot pulled the mixture all the way out and applied the brakes before striking the north parameter fence. The aircraft came to a stop once it struck the fence.
