In a written statement the student pilot reported that he had completed a practice landing and was applying power in preparation for another takeoff when the aircraft encountered a "wind gust" from the right.

At the time of the accident the pilot's total flight time was 19.7 hours. The pilot's first solo flight was on September 21, 2006. The 1323 METAR observation at Naples was, in part, wind from 140 degrees at 8 knots, visibility unrestricted at 10 statute miles.
