## Narrative

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

(-23) STUDENT PILOT WAS PRACTICING FOR HIS PRIVATE PILOT CHECK RIDE. HE HAD COMPLETED A NUMBER OF TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS WITH HIS INSTRUCTOR IN THE MORNING AND HIS INSTRUCTOR RELEASED HIM FOR SOLO FLIGHT. HE WAS ATTEMPTING A SHORT FIELD TAKEOFF. THE STUDENT PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS HIT BY A GUST OF WIND AND BECAME AIRBORNE. BEFORE HE COULD DO ANYTHING THE AIRPLANE STALLED AND HIT THE RUNWAY. THE PROPELLER ALSO HIT THE RUNWAY. THE STUDENT PILOT ABORTED THE TAKE OFF. THERE WAS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR BELIEVES THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE AS IT WAS LOW ON FUEL AND HAD ONLY THE STUDENT PILOT IN THE AIRCRAFT.

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.
