Narrative:The operator reported that, the purpose of the flight was for the student pilot to perform his second solo flight. During his first landing, the airplane's airspeed was fast.

The lower floorboards and firewall were substantially damaged. The operator reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
