| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The student pilot reported that, during his second solo flight, while performing a touch and go, the airplane landed “very” hard and bounced twice before he initiated a go-around. During the subsequent base turn, he felt that the rudder pedals were not reacting to his commands, and he “sensed” that the landing gear had been damaged during the landing. Immediately after the nosewheel touched down, the airplane veered right and exited the runway.
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mount.
The student pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilot’s improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
