Read the full NTSB narrative
The student pilot was practicing touch and go landings in his single-engine airplane when he encountered a gust of wind while in the landing flare, which pushed the left wing up. He said he tried to compensate by adding power, but the airplane changed direction and crossed over a grassy area and collided with a parked airplane. The pilot stated that there were no mechanical deficiencies with the airplane.
