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
The pilot was on a supervised solo flight, performing touch and go landings. The airplane was seen by a witness landing fast and porpoising. On about the third or fourth bounce, the airplane drifted to the right and, while airborne, stalled. The pilot had approximately 15 hours of total flight time.
