What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The airman was on a supervised, first solo cross country flight from Talkeetna, Alaska to wasilla, Alaska and returning to Talkeetna. On the final landing at the destination, the aircraft bounced during landing. The student pilot recovered to the point where all wheels were on the ground and under control, however, the pilot then applied the brakes too aggressively causing the aircraft to tip forward striking the propeller and coming to a stop on runway 36 in an inverted position. The student pilot secured and exited the aircraft. There were no reported injuries and the aircraft sustained minor damage in accordance with the definition found in NTSB 830. The inspector counseled the airman about positive aircraft control, aeronautical decision making, go-arounds and effects of emotions in the cockpit. The airman displayed a compliant and constructive attitude toward aviation safety and took full responsibility for the incident. The airman was encouraged and has decided to continue pilot training with the certified flight instructor. Inspector also counseled the certified flight instructor who conveyed a positive attitude toward aviation safety. The flight instructor will provide extra dual instruction flights with the airman to ensure safety. A private pilot practical test is planned this fall.
