Analysis
The student pilot was making touch and go's on runway 24 in a Piper tomahawk. The wind was from the north west at 12 knots. The pilots reported the wing rose and the aircraft drifted left with a gust. He stated he applied power for a go-around, however the aircraft did not gain altitude. Investigation revealed nothing wrong with the aircraft that would have prevented the go-around. The maximum demonstrated crosswind component for the PA-38 is 15 knots.
