## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN HARD ON LANDING, BOUNCED HIGH AND VEERED OFF CENTERLINE. THE PILOT ATTEMPTED A GO-AROUND, AND THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT RISE FAST ENOUGH. THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED AFTER IMPACTING THE TAXIWAY SIGN, AND THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED TO A STOP. THIS WAS THE SECOND LANDING OF THE PILOT'S FIRST SUPERVISED SOLO.

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.
