The student pilot intended to perform a solo cross-country flight; however, shortly after departure he returned to the airport due to poor visibility. He entered the traffic pattern for runway 14 and prepared for a landing. He reported that just after he touched down on the centerline, the airplane veered to the left and struck a runway sign. The airplane then slid about 100 feet and came to rest in the grass. He also reported that the wind "may have been a factor" in the accident. The student pilot additionally stated that he received a weather briefing prior to the flight; however, he could not remember its contents. The wind reported at the airport was from 050 degrees at 15 knots. Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed no mechanical malfunctions.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to compensate for wind conditions and his failure to maintain directional control during landing. A factor was the crosswind.
