Analysis
The solo student plt attempted to land the acft with an aprx 90 deg x-wind of 24 KTS gusting to 32 KTS. Feeling unsure of the conditions on his first apch, he decided to make a go around. This he successfully accomplished. On his second attempt, he was able to land the acft on the rwy but was unable to maintain proper rwy alignment. He elected to go around once again but lost directional control. The acft departed the left side of the rwy where it came to rest after ground looping and collapsing the landing gear.
