The student pilot was performing his take-off for a solo training flight. After rotation, as the aircraft became airborne, the pilot lost directional control, due to a gust of wind. While the student attempted to recover from the directional deviation, the aircraft lost lift and collided with the ground. During the subsequent bounce, the pilot inadvertently pushed the power lever to full power. The aircraft collided with two aircraft that were parked on the apron before the pilot could gain control and stop the aircraft. The aircraft was destroyed during the accident sequence. The other two aircraft involved in the accident were substantially damaged. The pilot sustained no injuries. Probable Cause Loss of directional control after take-off as the result of a wind gust. (7.20 causal) Contributing Factors Incorrect take-off technique. The pilot's low level of experience.
