From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: while performing touch-and-go landing practice during student pilot solo flight, the student flared high, landed hard, lost control of the aircraft, veered off the runway on the left, hit a ditch, and broke off the aircraft nose landing gear. The student pilot was counseled on proper cross-wind landing techniques and the flight instructor was counseled against permitting student pilot solo touch-and-go landings. This report closes this incident.
