The 33-hour student pilot was not able to maintain directional control while landing with a right crosswind. The student pilot reported that as he landed, a wind gust blew the aircraft to the far left of the runway. The student pilot applied right rudder, right aileron, full power, carburetor heat in, and removed 10 degrees of flaps. The pilot then added full power to go-around. The airplane departed the 100-foot wide runway to the left, and impacted the windsock. At 1306, the GLE Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS) reported the winds from 260 degrees at 10 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing. Contributing factors were the prevailing crosswind and the pilot's failure to abort landing.
