Read the full NTSB narrative

THE STUDENT PILOT SAID CROSSWIND GUSTS BLEW THE ACFT TO THE RIGHT OF THE RWY JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN. ELECTING A GO-AROUND, THE PILOT SAID HE WAS INTO INITIAL CLIMB WHEN THE ACFT LOST AIRSPEED, BOUNDED OFF THE GROUND INTO A STALL, LANDED ON THE NOSE GEAR AND NOSED OVER. ON RENOS 1054 SURFACE OBSERVATION THE WINDS WERE REPORTED FROM 210 DEGREES AT 21 KTS WITH GUSTS TO 29 KTS. CESSNA LISTS THE FACTORY DEMONSTRATED CROSSWIND COMPONENT OF THE CESSNA 150/152 SERIES DURING LANDING AS 13 KTS. THE STUDENT WAS ENDORSED FOR SOLO BUT THE EXACT NATURE OF THE SOLO PRIVILEGES WERE NOT ASCERTAINED BECAUSE REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT HIS FLT INSTRUCTOR WERE UNSUCCESSFUL.
