## Narrative

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

(-23) AFTER PLANNING & BRIEF BY CHIEF PILOT, STUDENT SOLO LEFT GREENWOOD LAKE A.P. (4N1) FOR PRACTICE LANDINGS AT ORANGE COUNTY A.P. (MGJ). AFTER ONE UNEVENTFUL FULL-FLAP TOUCH & GO ON RNWY 03, STUDENT ATTEMPTED ANOTHER LANDING. HE STATED THAT THE APPROACH WENT WELL, AND IN-CLOSE THE A/C "BALLOONED" AND HE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT. HE HEARD NO STALL HORN. HE NOTED THE LEFT WING DROPPED AND THE NEXT THING RECALLED WAS THE A/C COMING TO REST 300' LEFT OF THE RUNWAY AND TURNED ALMOST 180 DEGREES TO THE RNWY. FLAPS WERE @ 50% DOWN, NOT FULL AS INTENDED.
