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
While landing on runway 24 in strong gusty crosswind conditions the student plt lost control of the aircraft. While making a go-around the aircraft drifted to the left side of the runway striking the VASI lights. The aircraft then continued on to the left colliding with a parked aircraft. The winds at an airport 10 miles away were reported at 260 degrees at 16 knots with gust to 27 knots, five minutes after the accident.
