What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The pilot privacy data omitted was making his first solo landing, on his first solo flight. He made a hard landing, resulting in porpoising of the aircraft. On the third hard bounce, the nose wheel collapsed, resulting in damage to the prop. It is this inspector's opinion that this incident is a result of inadequate pre-solo flight instruction, and poor judgement, on the part of the pilot's privacy data omitted flight instructor. The pilot privacy data omitted was not adequately prepared to solo. By his own written statement, and verbal statements made to inspector privacy data omitted he was having difficulties with his landings for the last three training lessons. His training was also very sporadic. He was taking a lesson about once every two or three weeks. It is this inspector's opinion that the pilot privacy data omitted was not trained to "proficiency" as required by FAR 61.87(c),(2), and (n),(1),(ii,iii).
