The airplane impacted a visual approach slope indicator (VASI) system during a landing attempt. The student pilot stated that while on final approach to runway 29 the airplane encountered a "very strong [wind] gust from the right (north)." The pilot reported the airplane "rolled left with a sudden drop of altitude." The pilot stated he increased engine power, but the aircraft impacted the runway. The pilot reported the airplane bounced off the runway and began to drift off the left side of the runway. The pilot stated he saw the VASI system and "heard a thud" when the airplane impacted it. The pilot reported he was able to regain aircraft control and landed on runway 04 without further incident. The winds were 320 degrees true at 9 knots gusting to 17 knots. The pilot reported there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane prior to the impact with the VASI system. The student pilot's most recent 90-day solo endorsement expired almost nine months prior to the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inadequate compensation for the wind conditions, resulting in aircraft control not being maintained during the landing approach. Contributing factors to the accident were the gusting crosswind and the VASI system.
