Narrative

ON MAR/SUN/91 I ENDORSED (STUDENT NAME) FOR A SOLO XCOUNTRY FROM AOO (ALTOONA-BLAIR CO; PA) TO LHV (LOCKHAVEN PA). I CHKED THE WX AND HIS XCOUNTRY PLANNING. EVERYTHING LOOKED OK. HE DEPARTED AOO APPROX XA30 AM LCL TIME. APPROX XC00 LCL TIME; I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE WILLIAMSPORT CTL TWR (IPT). I WAS INFORMED THAT MY STUDENT LANDED AT IPT. HE HAD NOT ESTABLISHED RADIO CONTACT WITH THE TWR PRIOR TO ENTERING THE CLASS D AIRSPACE. HE LANDED AND TAXIED WITHOUT A CLRNC. HE APPARENTLY CAUSED A COMMUTER TO GAR; HOWEVER; I DO NOT KNOW ANY MORE DETAILS ABOUT THAT SIT. THE STUDENT LATER INFORMED ME THAT HE NEVER SAW ANOTHER ACFT IN FLT. THE STUDENT APPARENTLY GOT OFF COURSE AND FLEW BY LHV AND MISTOOK IPT FOR HIS DEST. HE REALIZED HIS MISTAKE AFTER LNDG AND TAXIING TO THE RAMP. HE TALKED TO THE TWR CTLR VIA TELEPHONE FROM THE FBO OFFICE. HE WAS VERY UPSET BY WHAT HE HAD DONE; AND IN HIS ANXIETY TO LEAVE IPT HE FAILED TO OBTAIN A LOGBOOK ENDORSEMENT FOR THE RETURN FLT TO ALTOONA. THE STUDENT WILL RECEIVE MORE DUAL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO GOING ON ANOTHER SOLO XCOUNTRY.
