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: the student pilot stated: that he had completed a solo cross country flight from new philadelphia (phd) to mansfield (MFD) and returned to (phd). He stated that the final approach was normal and that he flared and began to float. The aircraft then bounced on the right main landing gear and drifted to the right side of runway 32. He believed that he could recover from the bounce, but that it happened too fast. Wind was from 280 degrees at 4. He believes that he should have responded sooner, instead of letting the aircraft float and bounce. privacy data omitted The student pilot is not authorized for solo flight in any aircraft, until re-checked.
