Read the full NTSB narrative
A student pilot reported while making a touch and go landing, he flared early and the airplane began to porpoise. He then stated he began to add power to try to correct the porpoise condition. During the landing the airplane touched down on the left side of the runway center line. The airplane then departed the left side of the runway and rolled down an incline. The airplane came to a stop after colliding with a shed and trees. The student pilot did not report a mechanical problem with the airplane.
