## Narrative

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

WHILE CONDUCTING TOUCH AND GOES DURING AN INITIAL SOLO FLIGHT, THE AIRMAN LANDED HARD ON RUNWAY 25 AT KORL. THE LANDING CASUED THE AIRPLANE TO BECOME AIRBORNE AND LANDED ON THE NOSEWHEEL. THE NOSEWHEEL COLLAPSED AND THE AIRPLANE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A HANGAR.

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.
