WHILE ON A SOLO INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO FIND SUFFICIENT LIFT & DECIDED TO TURN BACK TOWARD THE AIRPORT FOR LANDING. DUE TO HIS LOW ALTITUDE, HE WAS NOT ABLE TO FLY A NORMAL PATTERN ENTRY. A DOWNWIND LANDING WAS ATTEMPTED; HOWEVER, BEFORE REACHING THE RUNWAY, OTHER AIRCRAFT WERE DEPARTING. THE PILOT PARALLELED THE RUNWAY STILL ANTICIPATING A NORMAL LANDING. WHILE TURNING…
THE STUDENT PLT WAS ON HIS 9TH SOLO LANDING WHEN HE LANDED ON RWY 27 WITH A X-WING FROM 200 DEG AT 10 KTS. DURING THE LANDING, THE GLIDER DRIFTED TO THE NORTH INTO SOME BUSHES, THEN SWERVED INTO A TREE. THE PLT REPORTED THAT UPON LANDING, HE LOWER THE WRONG WING (RIGHT WING) & ALLOWED THE GLIDER TO DRIFT TO THE NORTH.
