Analysis

The student pilot stated that just as he touched down on rwy 34 the wind shifted from west to east. He aborted the landing and during the climbout, the aircraft stalled. Examination of the aircraft after the accident revealed the flaps were in the down position and the carb heat was in the 'on' position. The student pilot had 3 hours of solo flight.
