Read the full NTSB narrative

WHILE ON A STUDENT SOLO X-COUNTRY FLIGHT, THE PLT EXPERIENCED VERTICAL GUSTING CONDITIONS DURING THE SECOND LANDING PATTERN, FOLLOWING AN INITIAL GO-AROUND. FEARING A HARD LANDING DUE TO A SEVERE GUST, THE PLT ABRUPTLY APPLIED FULL BACK PRESSURE ON THE STICK, ALTHOUGH THE ACFT WAS STILL APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET ABOVE THE RWY. THIS RESULTED IN A STALL, ACCORDING TO THE PLT. THE ACFT IMPACTED THE CENTER OF RWY 32 AND SKIDDED ABOUT 800 FEET DOWN THE RWY BEFORE COMING TO A REST.
