What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
This was the first solo and first landing for the student pilot when the incident occurred. He said his traffic pattern was normal with the exception, when he turned ¾ mile final he was at 900 feet MSL instead of a normal 700 feet MSL (500 feet AGL). He said he was a little higher over the threshold but his airspeed was normal. The pilot landed hard and bounced up four times before he was able to get control of the aircraft and taxi off the runway. The student pilot said he had problems taxiing the aircraft and decided to shut the engine down on the taxiway.
