## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THE FLIGHT WAS MADE BY A STUDENT PILOT ON HIS LAST SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY. HE DEPARTED ATHENS, GA AROUND NOON FOR DOUGLAS, GA. FLYING TIME WAS ONE HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES. HE STATED THAT AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF FLIGHT THAT HE NEVER HEARD ANY RADIO TRANSMISSIONS. I THINK THIS ADDED TO HIS ANXIETY. PRIOR TO REACHING DOUGLAS, THE CEILING STARTED DROPPING AND IT WAS VERY HAZY. IT SEEMS THAT HIS COURSE WAS GOOD AND THAT HE PASSED VERY CLOSE TO HIS DESTINATION AIRPORT; BUT HE MISSED IT. HE FLEW AROUND FOR A WHILE NOT KNOWING WHERE HE WAS. HE TRIED TO FIND BACON COUNTY AIRPORT BUT WAS UNABLE. THE PILOT STATED THAT HIS FUEL WAS GETTING LOW SO HE STARTED LOOKING FOR A PLACE FOR AN EMERGENCY LANDING. HE FOUND AN OPEN FIELD AND HE LANDED. THE FIELD HAD BEEN PLOWED RECENTLY AND THE SOIL WAS VERY SOFT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON IT'S NOSE GEAR AND FLIPPED OVER ON IT'S BACK. THERE WAS ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT AND THE PILOT WAS NOT INJURED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft 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. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
