Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane sustained substantial damage during a hard landing. The airplane was piloted by a student solo pilot performing a touch and go landing. The pilot stated that he became distracted by an airplane holding short of the landing runway because there was no response to his radio transmissions conveying his intentions to land. The stall warning horn then sounded and the airplane stalled onto the runway. The student pilot had a total flight time of 27.3 hours, of which 5.1 hours was solo flight time.
