What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Pilot was on solo cross country and as he was landing on runway 7, a gust of wind, caused his loss of control and he left the runway into the grass. Pilot checked his surroundings and no one else was taxiing, so he continued through the grass strip and entered taxi way.
He then shut down and inspected the aircraft. He called tower and his academy. They asked if the aircraft was damaged or able to fly, and gave him the option of having someone pick him up and another pilot fly the plane back to inverness. He stated he was fine and able to fly the plane back.
Once he landed a thorough inspection of the gear and surfaces was conducted, including removing panels. ATC stated 2 PAPI lights were damaged. Although there is no indication on the aircraft of any contact with any other surface.
