AN INSTRUCTOR PLT RPTS THAT 1 OF HIS STUDENTS WRECKED HER ACFT ON HER FIRST SOLO.

Narrative

MY STUDENT WAS ON HER FIRST SUPERVISED SOLO WHEN THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE. SHE HAD FLOWN A PERFECT PATTERN AND WHAT APPEARED TO BE PERFECT FINAL APCH TO LNDG WHEN THE ACCIDENT BEGAN. SHE TOUCHED THE GND WITH HER L WHEEL (IN A SIDESLIP CONFIGN) AND THEN PROCEEDED TO BALLOON UPWARD TO APPROX 35 FT IN THE AIR. THE STUDENT PITCHED THE NOSE DOWNWARD TO AVOID A STALL; FAILED TO REGAIN A NOSE HIGH PITCH ATTITUDE (FLARE) FOR LNDG THEREBY CREATING A PORPOISING CONDITION. THE PLANE HIT THE NOSEWHEEL AND THEN THE MAIN GEAR. THE PLANE THEN ROSE 10 FT ABOVE THE GND AND REMAINED IN LEVEL FLT FOR QUITE SOME DISTANCE. THE NOSE THEN PITCHED DOWNWARD AND STRUCK WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO COLLAPSE THE NOSEWHEEL AND THEN A PROP STRIKE. IT APPEARED THAT THE STUDENT NEVER FLARED THE ACFT IN TIME TO AVOID THIS ACCIDENT. SHE HAS HAD NUMEROUS HRS OF INSTRUCTION (39 HRS) PRIOR TO SOLO AND HAS HAD INSTRUCTION ON RECOVERY FROM BALLOONING AND BOUNCED (PORPOISING) LNDGS. THE MAIN CONCERN I HAVE WAS A POSSIBLE XWIND CONDITION. WHEN SHE WAS LNDG; THE WIND WAS DOWN THE RWY; HOWEVER; THE RPTED WIND WAS: XA47Z -- 240 DEGS/11 KTS; XB47Z -- 280 DEGS/7 KTS. THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT XB00Z. AFTER TALKING TO MY STUDENT AND ASKING WHY A GAR WAS NOT EXECUTED OR WHY THERE WAS NO FLARE; SHE ANSWERED THAT SHE WAS ATTEMPTING TO FLARE (CAUSING THE BALLOON) BUT LOST CTL AFTERWARDS.
