## Narrative

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

ON WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 2021, N758PA, A CESSNA MODEL 152 WAS INVOLVED IN A HARD LANDING WHICH RESULTED IN THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCING AND COMING TO REST ON ITS NOSE.  ON SCENE INVESTIGATION BY FAA PERSONNEL OBSERVED ONLY MINOR DAMAGE TO THE PROPELLER AND NOSE GEAR.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS OPERATED BY A STUDENT PILOT DURING THEIR FIRST SOLO FLIGHT.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS, CLEAR SKIES, EXISTED AT THE TIME OF THE FLIGHT WITH WINDS REPORTED AS LIGHT AND VARIABLE.  THE STUDENT PILOT, THE SOLE OCCUPANT ON BOARD THE AIRCRAFT REPORTED NO INJURIES.

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.
