Probable cause
The NTSB’s determination of the probable cause, and any contributing factors.
The pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the aircraft. A related factor was the crosswind condition.
Analysis
The student pilot stated that the aircraft landed a 'little hot' and bounced. The aircraft veered to the left (west) side of the runway and the pilot elected to initiate a go-around. Before the aircraft became airborne, it collided with a pile of excavated rock and dirt located on the west edge of the runway. The aircraft came to rest approximately 20 feet from the runway edge. The pilot reported that at the time of the accident the wind was from 090 degrees at three to five knots, gusting to ten knots. Hillsboro Airport, located eight miles north of Twin Oaks, was reporting the wind from 110 degrees at 14 knots at the time of the accident.

The student pilot was not injured. Day visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the local flight. There was no fire and no report of an ELT actuating. The flight originated from the McMinnville, Oregon, Airport approximately 30 minutes prior to the accident.
