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: during this flight the student pilot stated that this was his first solo flight and that his third landing was high and decided to go around. He came around again and his flare was too high and he bounced and went to the left side of the runway and landed hard on the nose gear, and then brought the aircraft to a full stop. This resulted in some damage to the engine mount. Weather conditions: winds approximately 220 to 240 at 12 knots, VFR conditions. privacy data omitted
