## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: A STUDENT PILOT LOST CONTROL ON FIRST SOLO LANDING. UPON TOUCHDOWN THE AIRCRAFT VEERED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, RAN THROUGH SOME SAGEBRUSH THAT IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY. AFTER THE STUDENT PILOT TAXIED BACK ONTO THE RUNWAY THE AIRCRAFT WAS TAXIED BACK TO THE FBO. THE SLC FSDO WAS CALLED ON 10/15/97 BY TIM WHITE, DIRECTOR OF MAINTENANCE FOR JACKSON HOLE AVIATION, REQUESTING A FERRY PERMIT FOR THIS AIRCRAFT. TIM REPORTED THERE WAS SOME DAMAGE TO THE LEFT MAIN GEAR AND THE AIRCRAFT NEEDS TO BE FERRIED TO GREELEY, CO FOR REPAIRS. THE FERRY PERMIT WAS ISSUED. THIS IS A FINAL REPORT.

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.
