## Narrative

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

DURING SECOND FULL STOP LANDING ATTEMPT OF FIRST SOLO FLIGHT, STUDENT PILOT LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF AIRCRAFT ON ROLLOUT AFTER TOUCHDOWN.  THE AIRCRAFT PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY PAVEMENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY STRUCK A TAXIWAY SIGN UPON THE AIRCRAFT'S DEPARTURE FROM THE RUNWAY.  THE STUDENT PILOT WAS NOT INJURED AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIMITED TO THE PROPELLER, WITH ADDITIONAL DAMAGE POTENTIALLY BEING CAUSED TO INTERNAL ENGINE COMPONENTS.

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.
