Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The student plt was practicing unsupervised solo flt in gusty cross winds. He became distracted on takeoff and failed to correct for a left drift. At this point he had taken out all aileron correction and when the left wing came up, he also added left rudder. An attempt was made to abort the takeoff by forward pressure on the control yoke. Throttle was not reduced and the propeller struck the rwy several times. The acft departed the rwy to the left and the right wing struck a rwy light. The acft became airborne from a small rise and flew into the corner of a hangar, causing propeller contact with the hangar wall. The aircraft came to rest after rebounding from the hangar.
