Analysis
The student plt was on a supervised solo flt. He stated that he had always been 'scared' of landings & when he returned to the airport to land, the wind sock was standing 'straight out.' He later stated that he intended to continue flying and thought that he needed more crosswind landing training. He initiated a crosswind landing on rwy 31 and touched down with full flaps. According to a witness, the aircraft landed hard, bounced an estimated 70 ft in the air, fell off on one wing & crashed to the ground. Aprx 28 mi north at the pine belt regional arpt, the wind was from 010 deg at 5 KTS. The acft handbook stated that only minimal flap settings should be used when landing in a crosswind while considering the rwy length.
