What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On November 14th, around 1PM EST, a light sport aircraft had an incident during landing. The airman was on his way back from a solo cross country landing on runway 05 at mnv with winds at 12KTS from 030. Upon landing, the wind picked up the aircraft and flopped it back down creating a harder than normal landing but nothing out of the ordinary for the small plane during gusty conditions. The airman did not have nose gear steering and veered right. The airman applied brakes but could not keep it straight. The aircraft came to a stop roughly 100' from its original touchdown point over to the side of the runway.
