NTSB narrative

A student pilot performed two landings at the airport with a flight instructor aboard the airplane before the student pilot attempted a solo landing on runway 23. Upon touchdown during the solo flight, the airplane turned into the wind and veered off the left side of the runway where it struck a visual approach slope indicator. The wind was reportedly from 170 degrees at 5 knots at the time of the accident. Examination of the airplane revealed that flaps were fully extended. The airplane sustained substantial damage to airframe underlying the main landing gear attachment.
