## Narrative

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

ON FEBRUARY 26, 2026, THE STUDENT PILOT WAS ON HIS SIXTH OR SEVENTH SOLO FLIGHT AND PERFORMING HIS FOURTH OR FIFTH LANDING. DURING THE APPROACH TO LAND, THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND BOUNCED OFF THE RUNWAY SURFACE. THE PILOT THEN FORCED THE NOSE OF THE AIRCRAFT DOWNWARD IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET IT TO LAND. AS A RESULT, THE AIRCRAFT PORPOISED TWICE, AND ON THE THIRD BOUNCE, THE NOSE WHEEL BENT, CAUSING A PROPELLER BLADE TO SEPARATE FROM THE AIRCRAFT.
