## Narrative

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

(-23) STUDENT PILOT, ON RETURN FROM HIS FIRST SOLO CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT, WAS CAUGHT BY A WIND GUST.  REPORTED RIGHT CROSS WINDS AT THE TIME WERE 12/G28.  THE RIGHT AIRCRAFT MAIN TIRE STRUCK A RIGHT RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT ON LANDING ROLL OUT.  DISCUSSED THE INCIDENT WITH THE STUDENT PILOT.  HE HAD CHECKED THE FORECAST TO MAKE SURE THE WINDS WERE WITHIN HIS PERSONAL LIMITS.  WHEN HE RETURNED FROM HIS CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT THE WINDS WERE GREATER THAN FORECAST.  HIS EXPERIENCCE LEVEL WAS NOT YET SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE ONE OF THE WIND GUSTS DURING LANDING ROLL OUT.

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.
