## Analysis

THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON A SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT. WHILE LANDING AT AN EN ROUTE AIRPORT, HE ENCOUNTERED A GUSTY, RIGHT QUARTERING, HEADWIND. DURING TOUCHDOWN, THE PLANE BOUNCED AND THE PILOT APPLIED POWER. HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO PREVENT THE PLANE FROM DRIFTING OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. HE THEN APPLIED BRAKES AND TRIED TO TURN TO AVOID SHRUBS AND BUSHES. THE NOSE WHEEL DUG INTO SOFT TERRAIN, THE PLANE NOSED DOWN, AND THE LEFT WING CONTACTED THE GROUND.
