What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot in command (PIC) was on a solo cross country flight. The flight was planned from albertville(8A0) to muscle shoals(MSL) to Fayetteville(fym), and then back to 8A0 for the planned 181 NM flight with full stops at each location. The PIC reported that the first leg of the flight was completed normally. On the second leg (MSL to fym) the PIC stated that he received the automated weather (AWOS) at fym which reported a wind from 260 at 10 knots. In the traffic pattern at fym, the PIC stated that he saw a Cessna aircraft land on runway 20 and that he then continued his left traffic pattern to that runway. The PIC executed a go arround because he stated he was too high to make a safe landing. That procedure was followed by another approach to the same runway. On that landing, the aircraft bounced three times and on the last bounce the nose hit first resulting in collapsing the nose gear and the propeller striking the runway. The PIC was uninjured. There was no fire or fuel leakage. He exited the aircraft and called his flight instructor on his cell phone to report the incident. The airport manager was contacted and the aircraft was photographed and then removed to the ramp of the local fym fixed base operator (FBO). The aircraft was photographed again and aircraft records were checked. No issues were found.
As the FAA filed it
THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) WAS ON A SOLO CROSS COUNTRY FLIGHT. THE FLIGHT WAS PLANNED FROM ALBERTVILLE(8A0) TO MUSCLE SHOALS(MSL) TO FAYETTEVILLE(FYM), AND THEN BACK TO 8A0 FOR THE PLANNED 181 NM FLIGHT WITH FULL STOPS AT EACH LOCATION. THE PIC REPORTED THAT THE FIRST LEG OF THE FLIGHT WAS COMPLETED NORMALLY. ON THE SECOND LEG (MSL TO FYM) THE PIC STATED THAT HE RECEIVED THE AUTOMATED WEATHER (AWOS) AT FYM WHICH REPORTED A WIND FROM 260 AT 10 KNOTS. IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN AT FYM, THE PIC STATED THAT HE SAW A CESSNA AIRCRAFT LAND ON RUNWAY 20 AND THAT HE THEN CONTINUED HIS LEFT TRAFFIC PATTERN TO THAT RUNWAY. THE PIC EXECUTED A GO ARROUND BECAUSE HE STATED HE WAS TOO HIGH TO MAKE A SAFE LANDING. THAT PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER APPROACH TO THE SAME RUNWAY. ON THAT LANDING, THE AIRCRAFT BOUNCED THREE TIMES AND ON THE LAST BOUNCE THE NOSE HIT FIRST RESULTING IN COLLAPSING THE NOSE GEAR AND THE PROPELLER STRIKING THE RUNWAY. THE PIC WAS UNINJURED. THERE WAS NO FIRE OR FUEL LEAKAGE. HE EXITED THE AIRCRAFT AND CALLED HIS FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ON HIS CELL PHONE TO REPORT THE INCIDENT. THE AIRPORT MANAGER WAS CONTACTED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS PHOTOGRAPHED AND THEN REMOVED TO THE RAMP OF THE LOCAL FYM FIXED BASE OPERATOR (FBO). THE AIRCRAFT WAS PHOTOGRAPHED AGAIN AND AIRCRAFT RECORDS WERE CHECKED. NO ISSUES WERE FOUND.
