| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The student pilot made a hard landing followed by 5 or 6 porpoise-like bounces on the runway during his first supervised solo flight. Thereafter, he lost control of the airplane, and it collided with a runway sign. The student pilot's flight instructor reported that her student had performed what appeared to have been a normal approach to the runway using 30 degrees of wing flaps. The student appeared to flare out higher than normal over the runway, and he increased engine power to recover just before the hard landing.
Probable Cause: The pilot's misjudged landing flare, improper recovery from a bounced landing and failure to maintain directional control, resulting in a runway sign collision.
