Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During the first ground supervised solo flight, the tower controller noticed a tone change in the student pilot's voice while on down wind leg of the traffic pattern. On base leg the student did not extend the second increment of flaps as routinely instructed. On short final the student realized the mistake and extended full flaps. The acft touched down hard on the nose landing gear & made several bounces on the rwy prior to coming to rest.
