During the roundout the airplane bounced and began to veer left of the runway centerline. He applied brakes and attempted to return the airplane to the center of the runway, but the airplane departed the left runway edge and impacted a taxiway sign. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The student pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or anomalies that could have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N190BM](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N190BM), registered now, S/N 9381, built 2023 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CIRRUS DESIGN CORP SR20 - Registry model: [Cirrus Design SR20](https://openairdocs.org/model/cirrus-design-sr20) (registry code 2130000) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Lycoming IO-390-C3B6](https://openairdocs.org/engine/lycoming-io-390-c3b6) (registry code 42710, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 9381 - Airframe hours: 51 - Engines: Lycoming IO390-C3B6 215 hp reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Instructional, Part 91 - Operator: Elevate Aviation - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Unknown, September 14, 2023 - Departed: PVU, Provo, UT - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: SLC, Salt Lake City Intl, runway 17, 9,596 × 150 ft, asphalt - Equipment: ADS-B, Airframe parachute, Angle of attack indicator, Auto-pilot, Electronic flight bag or handheld device, Electronic multifunction display, Electronic primary flight display, Onboard weather, Satellite tracking device, Stall warning system ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
