What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) After a hard landing, the student pilot attempted to arrest the bounce by adding power. The aircraft continued to bounce while veering towards the left side of the runway. The student then attempted a go-around using partial power, but struck a runway sign with the propeller and right main wheel. The airplane lost a piece of the propeller and the right main wheel, crossed the perpendicular runway, then landed straight ahead in the grass and slid to a stop.
