## Narrative

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

(-23) THE STUDENT PILOT STATED THAT SHE WAS PRACTICING SOLO SHORT FIELD TAKE-OFFS AND LANDINGS. THE APPROACH LOOKED GOOD BUT UPON LANDING, THE NOSE WHEEL HIT FIRST WHICH LAUNCHED THE AIRCRAFT INTO THE AIR AND BACK DOWN 3 TIMES, EACH OSCILLATION GETTING BIGGER (FUGOID OSCILLATIONS). ON THE 3RD OSCILLATION, THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED CAUSING THE PROP TO HIT THE PAVEMENT. NO OTHER DAMAGE WAS NOTED. THE PILOT HAD NO INJURIES. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
