## Narrative

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

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.

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.
