It was a warm day and we had been flying with the left window open. I had been flying with a loose fitting cap under my headset. When full power was applied, the wind blast came in through the window and knocked my cap back, taking the headset and my glasses with it. This startled and distracted me enough that I failed to straighten the airplane out to align with the runway center line.
