According to the student pilot, he was practicing touch-and-go landings. After successfully completing five landings, he noticed that the wind speed was increasing and decided to make one last landing. As the airplane landed, it was struck by a gust of wind and then veered right. The student pilot attempted to regain control by applying the brakes. However, he was unable to control the airplane; it struck a tree, turned 90 degrees to the right, and came to rest in a grassy area. The airplane incurred substantial damage to the firewall during the accident sequence. The student pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. In addition, he reported the wind about the time of the accident was about 40 degrees from the left at 4 to 6 knots, gusting to 9 knots.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll.
