## Narrative

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

ACCORDING TO THE STUDENT PILOT'S STATEMENT, HE WAS ON HIS THIRD LANDING OF A SOLO FLIGHT.  THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED A FEW TIMES ON LANDING, WITH THE AIRCRAFT TURNING A BIT MORE TO THE RIGHT EACH TIME IT BECAME AIRBORN DUE TO THE SLIGHT CROSSWIND.  UPON TOUCHING DOWN ON THE LAST BOUNCE, THE AIRCRAFT WAS HEADED TOWARDS THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE RUNWAY.  ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HE APPLIED BRAKES AND PUSHED HARD ON THE LEFT RUDDER IN AN ATTEMPT TO STEER THE AIRCRAFT AWAY FROM THE RUNWAY EDGE.  THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED THE RUNWAY INTO THE GRASS AND STRUCK A RUNWAY LIGHT WITH THE PROPELLER, NOSE GEAR AND THEN THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR.  THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE WHICH AMOUNTED TO DAMAGE TO ALL THREE PROPELLER BLADES AND DAMAGE TO THE NOSE WHEEL, NOSE WHEEL PANT AND RIGHT MAIN GEAR PANT.

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.
