## Narrative

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

(-23) AS THE PILOT OF N2437B WAS PRACTICING SOLO TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS ON RUNWAY 13L, HE FAILED TO CORRECT FOR A RIGHT CROSSWIND CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO VEER TO THE LEFT AND STRUCK TWO RUNWAY LIGHTS AND A SIGN. THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR AND NOSE WHEEL. THE PILOT WAS COUNSELED REGARDING CROSSWIND LANDINGS.

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.
