DURING A SOLO TRAINING FLIGHT, THE STUDENT PILOT RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT TO PRACTICE TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS. ON THE SECOND LANDING, THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED TWICE AND BEGAN TO DRIFT LEFT OF CENTERLINE. THE STUDENT PILOT DECIDED TO GO AROUND AND ADDED FULL POWER. AT THIS TIME, THE LEFT DRIFT INCREASED AND THE AIRPLANE LEFT THE RUNWAY. AS THE AIRPLANE BOUNCED ON THE ROUGH TERRAIN, THE PILOT REALIZED THAT HE WAS NOT AIRBORNE. HE PULLED THE THROTTLE TO IDLE AND BEGAN TO BRAKE HEAVILY. THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED TREES 100 FEET LEFT OF THE RUNWAY.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's failure to maintain control of the airplane during the landing/aborted landing sequence. A related factor is the student pilot's lack of total flight experience.
