## Narrative

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

(-23) THIS WAS PILOT'S SECOND SOLO OF THE DAY. ON LANDING, AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN TAIL WHEEL FIRST AND STARTED BOUNCING. PILOT FAILED TO ARREST THE BOUNCING AND AIRCRAFT LEFT RUNWAY AT A VERY SLOW SPEED INTO HIGH GRASS AND WENT OVER ONTO IT'S BACK.

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.
