## Narrative

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

(-23) STUDENT PILOT WAS NOT AWARE THAT HIS BOUNCED LANDING AT TERMINATION OF HIS SECOND SOLO CROSS COUNTRY RESULTED IN ANY DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. PREFLIGHT INSPECTION BY THE NEXT CUSTOMER DISCOVERED OBVIOUS DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT PROPELLER TIP AND FIREWALL.  NO DISCREPANCIES, DIFFICULTY OR VIBRATIONS WERE NOTED BY THE STUDENT PILOT AFTER LANDING AND SECURING THE AIRCRAFT.
