NTSB Factual Report

The student pilot reported that, during the first solo landing, the glider was "not straight" for the flare and she attempted to correct with right rudder. Subsequently, she over corrected, the glider veered right, and struck a hangar.

The glider sustained substantial damage to the fuselage and both wings.

The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the glider that would have precluded normal operation.

NTSB Probable Cause

The student pilot’s failure to maintain directional control during the landing flare.
