According to the instructor, the winds were light and variable, and after having provided instruction and flown with the student to ensure his readiness, he took a hand-held radio and exited the airplane to supervise the student's first solo flight. The instructor further stated that the student made a good landing, but according to the student, a gust caused the airplane to float up high, and he ballooned. He said the airplane then settled onto the runway surface on the main landing gear and bounced again. According to the instructor, the student did not add power, and on the third bounce the nose of the airplane veered left, and the nose impacted the grass, which collapsed the landing gear and bent the propeller. According the the flight instructor, there were no preaccident anomalies with the airplane or any of its systems.
