| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During the student pilots first solo flight, and on the third landing, the airplane bounced on the runway, nose wheel first. The student reported a wind from the left, followed by a horizontal wind shift into a crosswind from the right. According to the student pilot, she overcompensated for the change in wind direction, distracting her from the landing and resulting in a late flare. The student cited "inexperience" as a factor in her hard landing. The student pilot did not report a mechanical problem with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The student pilots improper flare, and improper recovery from a bounced landing. A factor was the student pilot's lack of total experience.
