Analysis
The student plt's instructor became seriously ill after the first leg of a dual, cross country flight. Another instructor/pilot examiner signed off on the student pilot's logbook to return solo to the departure airport. The instructor/pilot examiner failed to assure that the student was qualified for this, her first solo cross country, that a flight plan had been filed, OR that adequate weather conditions existed for this flight. The student pilot stated she was nervous and she had not received training on vor/radio operation. At the destination airport, gusting crosswinds were present. On short final the aircraft stalled striking the ground nose first.
