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.
Airman was on his second pattern solo practicing takeoffs and landings. First two touch and gos were uneventful. On the third landing the aircraft bounced and then drifted off the left side of the runway striking a runway light with the left main landing gear. This caused minor damage to fairing over the landing gear strut and destroyed one runway light. There were no injuries.
