The student pilot was landing on runway 18R on a solo flight and the airplane drifted to the left while between 100-200 ft above the runway. The student pilot initiated a go around. During the go around attempt, the main landing gear touched the ground; one wheel touched the runway surface, and the other wheel touched the grass adjacent to the runway. The right wing impacted the ground. The airplane departed the runway and came to rest upright. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.
The student pilot reported there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures that would have precluded normal operation. The student pilot further reported that the surface wind had shifted to a tailwind during the flight and that the wind at the time of the accident, as observed at the windsock, was from 330°.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing with a tailwind.
