Analysis
During a solo instructional flight, the pilot was attempting to fly a course directly over a 10,400 foot mountain. At the 5,200 ft level the pilot encountered turbulence and noticed a cloud build-up over the mountain. The pilot then decided to divert to the north when the aircraft collided with trees.
