Read the full NTSB narrative
During the student pilots first solo flight, and on the third landing, the airplane bounced on the runway, nose wheel first. The student reported a wind from the left, followed by a horizontal wind shift into a crosswind from the right. According to the student pilot, she overcompensated for the change in wind direction, distracting her from the landing and resulting in a late flare. The student cited "inexperience" as a factor in her hard landing. The student pilot did not report a mechanical problem with the airplane.
