The airplane collided with a series of objects following a loss of directional control while on the landing roll. The student pilot reported that he was performing full-stop takeoff and landings. During the rollout on his third landing, about halfway down the runway, the airplane began to drift to the left. He added full power and a combination of left aileron and rudder input in an effort to stay on the runway. The airplane's right wheel collided with a taxiway sign located off the left side of the runway. The airplane continued to the left, crossed a taxiway, and collided with an unoccupied airplane. The pilot did not report any mechanical problems with the airplane prior to the accident. At the time of the accident, winds in the area were reportedly calm.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control during the landing roll, which resulted in an on-ground collision with a sign and an unoccupied airplane.
