On 24 June 2010 at 0830Z, an Ikarus C42 aeroplane with registration ZU-EFG, operated by an aviation training organisation and piloted by a student pilot, took off from Oudtshoorn Aerodrome (FAOH) with the intention to land back at FAOH. This was the student pilot's first solo flight. The training flight was being conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC). During the landing on runway 22 at Oudtshoorn Aerodrome, the aircraft veered to the left. The student pilot then applied opposite rudder. As this action did not stop the aircraft from veering to the left, he decided to apply full power and initiate a go-around. The aircraft became airborne with a high nose attitude and shortly thereafter the left wing dropped, resulting in the left wing and the propeller impacting the ground, where after the aircraft cart wheeled. The student pilot was not injured during the sequence of the accident. The aircraft was destroyed during the sequence of the accident. Probable Cause The student pilot applied the incorrect go-around technique, placing the aircraft behind the drag curve and resulting in a stall that rendered ground impact inevitable. Contributing Factors No stall warning system installed in the aircraft
