## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT (A STUDENT PILOT WITH SOLO ENDORSEMENT) SET UP FOR LANDING AT SANFORD-LEE COUNTY AIRPORT (TTA). ON FINAL APPROACH FOR THE AIRPORT THE PILOT STATED THAT HE FELT THE AIRCRAFT WAS HIGH AND SLOW. THIS RESULTED IN A HARD LANDING WHICH CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO "BOUNCE." THE AIRCRAFT DRIFTED TO THE LEFT FROM THE CENTERLINE OF THE RUNWAY. THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN AGAIN AND BOUNCED, STILL MOVING TO THE LEFT. THE PILOT APPLIED POWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO GO-AROUND. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO SETTLE, IT CONTACTED THE GROUND ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY WHERE IT SLID TO A STOP. THE PILOT EGRESSED THE AIRCRAFT WITH NO INJURIES. THE PILOT WAS THE SOLE OCCUPANT OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT WAS LOCATED FAR ENOUGH FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY SO IT DID NOT POSE A THREAT TO ANY TAKE-OFF OR LANDING TRAFFIC. ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^
