What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The student pilot was completing his first solo flight while being observed on the ground by an instructor. The first two (2) attempts to land resulted as go-arounds because of excess speed.
A successful landing to a full stop was accomplished on the third attempt. Afterwards, the student took off for his second flight. During the landing, the student touched down and was on the rollout when the tower gave the instruction to ?exit on foxtrot and
Contact ground?. The student was fairly close to this taxiway but attempted to comply with the request. He applied uneven braking, and failed to maintain control of the aircraft during the turn. The high speed of the aircraft and the uneven application of the brakes caused the aircraft to run off the runway. The right wing struck the "foxtrot" taxiway sign causing damage to the underside skin.
The aircraft was inspected and no abnormalities were noted in the braking system. A review of the maintenance records showed that the aircraft was properly maintained. All inspections were properly recorded. No abnormalities were noted.
As the FAA filed it
THE STUDENT PILOT WAS COMPLETING HIS FIRST SOLO FLIGHT WHILE BEING OBSERVED ON THE GROUND BY AN INSTRUCTOR. THE FIRST TWO (2) ATTEMPTS TO LAND RESULTED AS GO-AROUNDS BECAUSE OF EXCESS SPEED.
A SUCCESSFUL LANDING TO A FULL STOP WAS ACCOMPLISHED ON THE THIRD ATTEMPT. AFTERWARDS, THE STUDENT TOOK OFF FOR HIS SECOND FLIGHT. DURING THE LANDING, THE STUDENT TOUCHED DOWN AND WAS ON THE ROLLOUT WHEN THE TOWER GAVE THE INSTRUCTION TO ?EXIT ON FOXTROT AND
CONTACT GROUND?. THE STUDENT WAS FAIRLY CLOSE TO THIS TAXIWAY BUT ATTEMPTED TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUEST. HE APPLIED UNEVEN BRAKING, AND FAILED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT DURING THE TURN. THE HIGH SPEED OF THE AIRCRAFT AND THE UNEVEN APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES CAUSED THE AIRCRAFT TO RUN OFF THE RUNWAY. THE RIGHT WING STRUCK THE "FOXTROT" TAXIWAY SIGN CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE SKIN.
THE AIRCRAFT WAS INSPECTED AND NO ABNORMALITIES WERE NOTED IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. A REVIEW OF THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS SHOWED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED. ALL INSPECTIONS WERE PROPERLY RECORDED. NO ABNORMALITIES WERE NOTED.
