| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The student pilot reported that he performed a straight-in approach for landing at the conclusion of his first solo cross-country flight. At the time, a 6-knot, left crosswind was reported at the field. Prior to touchdown, the airplane was “on the correct glide path' with the flaps fully deployed. While in the landing flare and just prior to touchdown, the nose of the airplane “shifted left' and the airplane touched down headed off the left side of the runway. The pilot said he briefly corrected, but eventually the airplane performed a runway excursion to its left coming to rest upright in the grass. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed substantial damage to the nose landing gear mount structure. The pilot reported there were no pre-accident mechanical failures or malfunctions of the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing with a crosswind.
