## Narrative

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

STUDENT PILOT DAVIKA CHAUDHARYWAS ON A CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT TO PGD AND BACK.  DAVIKA WAS INSTRUCTED BY ATC TO FOLLOW ANOTHER CESSNA FOR LANDING HOWEVER SHE FAILED TO MAINTAIN HER INTERVAL AND CONTINUED FOR LANDING WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN, WHICH CAUSED HER TO GET TOO CLOSE TO THE PRECEEDING AIRCRAFT.  ATC HAD TO INTERVENE AND SEND THE FIRST PLANE AROUND FOR FEAR THAT THIS STUDENT WOULD COLLIDE WITH IT.

EVEN WITH THE FIRST AIRCRAFT GOING AROUND THE STUDENT FLEW UNDER AND PAST THE PRECEEDING AIRCRAFT, AGAIN WITHOUT SLOWING DOWN.

UPON LANDING SHE RAN OFF THE RUNWAY AND COLLIDED WITH THE WIND SOCK, DESTROYING IT AND DAMAGING THE LEADING EDGE OF HER LEFT WING.

THE STUDENT FAILED TO NOTIFY THE TOWER OR OPERATIONS PERSONNEL ABOUT THE INCIDENT.  IT WAS REPORTED HOURS LATER BY HER FLIGHT INSTUCTOR THAT SHE STRUCK THE WIND SOCK.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
