## Narrative

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

(-23) STUDENT WAS ON A SOLO FLIGHT (NOT FIRST ONE) AND LANDING WITH A RIGHT 70 DEGREE CROSSWIND AT NINE (9) KNOTS. PILOT BALLOONED, HIT HARD ON RIGHT MAIN GEAR AND NOSE GEAR, AND THE NOSEWHEEL COLLAPSED (NO FIREWALL DAMAGE). NO STEERING WAS AVAILABLE AND THE A/C VEERED TO THE RIGHT INTO AN EMBANKMENT. THE TAIL WAS THROWN UP AND DOWN.

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.
