Probable cause

The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control of the airplane during the takeoff phase of a touch and go landing.

NTSB narrative

The student pilot reported that, while on final for a touch and go landing, the airplane was a bit high, but with plenty of runway remaining. The airplane touched down and bounced twice. The student pilot elected to go around. During the go around the left horizontal stabilator struck a runway light which resulted in substantial damage. The student pilot continued to fly the traffic pattern and subsequently landed without further incident. The student pilot stated that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operations.
