## Narrative

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

(-23) ON JUNE 17, 2002, STUDENT PILOT WAS CONDUCTING FIRST SOLO TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AT PENSACOLA REGIONAL AIRPORT. ON THE THIRD LANDING THE RIGHT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED AND THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. INITIAL INVESTIGATION INDICATED THAT THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR SADDLE BOLT HAD SHEARED OFF. M OR D REPORT TO FOLLOW.

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.
