## Narrative

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

(-23) STUDENT PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT WHILE LANDING ON RUNWAY 35L AT ABILENE AIRPORT. THIS WAS HIS FIRST CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT. THE LEFT CROSSWIND WAS FROM 300 DEGREES AT 10 KNOTS AND THE PILOT SWERVED TO THE LEFT DURING ROLL-OUT, ENDING 132 FEET WEST OF THE RUNWAY EDGE. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE NOSE-GEAR, ENGINE MOUNT, PROPELLER, COWLING AND THE RIGHT WINGTIP WHEN THE AIRPLANE ROLLED OVER AN EXISTING HOLE OFF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT CLAIMS THE LEFT BRAKE WAS DRAGGING, BUT AN INSPECTION SHOWS THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS AIRPLANE HAS THE ORIGINAL SINGLE LEVER BRAKE HANDLE AND HYDRAULIC DISK BRAKES ON EACH MAIN WHEEL.

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.
