Probable cause
Failure of the pilot to maintain directional control of the aircraft, which resulted in an inadvertent ground swerve. Factors related to the accident were: the crosswind condition, the student's lack of total experience, and the building (hangar).
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 pilot said that shortly after touchdown, he lost directional control of the aircraft & it veered off the runway & collided with a hangar. A left cross-wind existed at the time of the accident.
