## Narrative

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

ON THE AFTERNOON OF 9/27/2023 THE PILOT WAS COMPLETING A STUDENT SOLO FLIGHT FROM KSLC TO KPVU WHERE HE WAS PRACTICING TOUCH AND GOES. UPON COMPLETING THE TOUCH AND GOES THE PILOT THEN PROCEEDED TO RETURN DIRECTLY BACK TO KSLC. COMING BACK TO KSLC HE WAS ON FINAL APPROACH FOR LANDING AT RUNWAY 17. THE PAPI FOR RUNWAY 17 INDICATED THAT THE PLANE WAS ON GLIDE SLOPE AS HE APPROACHED RUNWAY 17. THERE WAS A RIGHT TO LEFT CROSSWIND AND THE PILOT HAD LIGHT TO MODERATE INPUTS FOR RIGHT RUDDER AND LEFT AILERON TO KEEP THE PLANE POINTED ON CENTER LINE. HE PROCEEDED TO ROUND OUT PRIOR TO TOUCH DOWN. THE PILOT STATED HE BELIEVE' S THE PLANE MAY HAVE BOUNCED UPON LANDING AND WITH ALL WHEELS ON THE GROUND AFTER LANDING, THE PLANE MOVED TO THE LEFT OF CENTER LINE AND TOWARD THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY. HE APPLIED BREAKING AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE THE PLANE BACK TO THE RIGHT, TOWARD THE RUNWAY, BUT WAS UNABLE TO RETURN TO THE RUNWAY AND THE PLANE STRUCK A TAXIWAY SIGN (APPROXIMATELY 2:15 PM MDT) WHICH WAS LOCATED OFF TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, IN THE PATH OF THE PLANE'S LEFT WING. THE PLANE THEN CAME TO A STOP AT THE SOUTH END OF THE K7 TAXIWAY IN BETWEEN THE K TAXIWAY AND RUNWAY 17, APPROXIMATELY 50 -100 FT PAST THE TAXIWAY SIGN THAT WAS STRUCK. THE SIGNAGE THAT WAS STRUCK BY THE PLANE WAS LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE K7 TAXIWAY.

ONCE THE PLANE CAME TO A STOP THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND PROPELLER WAS STILL SPINNING AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY VISUAL DAMAGE TO THOSE PARTS OF THE AIRCRAFT. WITH THE AIRCRAFT STOPPED, THE PILOT KEPT PRESSURE ON THE FOOT BREAKS, REDUCED POWER TO APPROXIMATELY 1100 RPM, AND THEN HE NOTIFIED SLC ATC THAT AN ACCIDENT HAD OCCURRED AND THEY THEN DISPATCHED EMERGENCY PERSONNEL TO THE SCENE. WHEN THE EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARRIVED AT THE SCENE THE PILOT THEN SHUT THE PLANE COMPLETELY OFF AND AT THE DIRECTION OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE AIRCRAFT. UPON EXITING THE LEFT DOOR OF THE AIRCRAFT HE NOTICED DAMAGE TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LEFT WING LOCATED APPROXIMATELY FROM THE LEFT FUSELAGE TO THE LEFT WING CUFF. ONCE THE PILOT WAS ON THE GROUND AND STANDING IN FRONT OF THE AIRCRAFT HE ALSO NOTICED DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE LEFT WING NEAR THE LEFT WING CUFF. THERE WAS ALSO VISUAL DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WHEEL COVERING.
