From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23) Student pilot privacy data omitted, on his third supervised solo, made approach to runway 31 at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, touching down on the runway about midway and bounced three times. The aircraft rebounded approximately 25 feet vertically each bounce until it veered to the left of the runway on the third bounce, nose wheel and strut compressed. The propeller, still under power, struck the ground 62 feet from the n taxiway. The nose gear collapsed and the aircraft skidded 81 yards to left of the runway. The aircraft came to rest in the grass off the runway. The pilot exited the aircraft after removing power and was unharmed. At the time there was a cross-wind component gusting from the north 10 knots. With 49 hours in the type aircraft, signed off for his solo flights four days earlier by the CFI privacy data omitted, who supervised this flight, the student pilot lost control of the aircraft veering off the runway.
