## Narrative

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

ON A SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT, DEPARTING DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA (DAB) AT 1000 EST AND ARRIVING AT JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA (CRG) AT 1050 EST, THE STUDENT PILOT MADE A STRAIGHT-IN APPROACH TO RUNWAY 33.  HE SAID HIS AIRSPEED WAS 65-70 KNOTS OVER THE RUNWAY NUMBERS WITH FULL FLAPS.  IN AN INTERVIEW HE STATED THAT HE WAS A LITTLE HIGH SO HE GAVE A LITTLE NOSE DOWN CONTROL INPUT AND THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED ONCE, THEN BOUNCED AGAIN.  HE THEN APPLIED FULL POWER FOR A GO-AROUND AND THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT INTO THE GRASS.  IN A WRITTEN STATEMENT HE STATED THAT HE FLARED OVER THE NUMBERS TO GET RID OF A LITTLE AIRSPEED, BUT HIS FLARE WAS A LITTLE HIGH AND THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED TWICE.  THE STUDENT PILOT STATED THAT THIS WAS HIS LAST SOLO CROSS-COUNTRY FLIGHT BEFORE TAKING HIS TESTS.
