## Narrative

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

(-23) STUDENT PILOT ON SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY WAS MAKING A LANDING ON RUNWAY 10 AT BVI AIRPORT WITH AT LEAST 3 OTHER AIRCRAFT IN TRAFFIC PATTERN. STUDENT LANDED A LITTLE FAST AND HARD. DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO ONE TIP OF THE TWO BLADED PROPELLER AND POSSIBLY A VERY SMALL WRINKLE IN FIRE WALL. STUDENT PILOT INFO WAS GIVEN TO OPS INSPECTOR AND IT WAS DECIDED THAT COUNSELING WAS AN APPROPRIATE ACTION FOR THE STUDENT AND FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR.

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.
