Narrative:The accident flight was the student pilot's first solo flight. The certified flight instructor conducted several landings with the student prior to the solo portion of the flight. During the solo, the student pilot took off without incident and entered the traffic pattern. While on final approach to land, as the student got close to the ground, the aircraft encountered a wind gust that pushed the aircraft to the left. The student pilot stated that he used right aileron to correct for the wind but was unable to stop the drift. The airplane touched down to the left of the runway and then became airborne again. The student pilot then attempted to land on an adjacent taxiway, where the propeller struck a taxiway sign and the left wing impacted a hangar. A postaccident examination revealed that the airplane had incurred substantial damage to the left wing and firewall. There was no evidence of any preimpact failure or malfunction of the airplane or engine.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain directional control during landing, which resulted in a runway excursion and collision with a hangar.
