THE STUDENT PILOT WAS RETURNING FROM A LONG SOLO CROSS COUNTRY. THE RUNWAY WAS UNDERGOING CONSTRUCTION. 2,300 FEET REMAINED FOR LANDING. LANDING NEEDED TO BE ACCOMPLISHED OVER BARRIERS. THE STUDENT PILOT HAD APPROACH FLAPS SET. THE TOWER ASKED THE PILOT TO MAKE A HIGH APPROACH. THE PILOT THEN ADDED FULL FLAPS. A HIGH RATE OF SINK DEVELOPED. A HARD BOUNCED LANDING THEN OCCURRED. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE RIGHT OF THE RUNWAY AND CONTINUED UNTIL IT STRUCK A RIVER THAT PARALLELED THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO EFFECTIVE LEFT RUDDER OR LEFT BRAKE AVAILABLE. FAA AIRWORTHINESS INSPECTORS INSPECTED THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THE AIRCRAFT, BUT COULD FIND NO REASON FOR LOSS OF LEFT RUDDER CONTROL OR LEFT BRAKING.
