Read the full NTSB narrative

During his first solo flight, the student pilot flew the Cessna 152 "fast" on final approach and flared higher than normal. The airplane bounced on the runway, and the student pilot initiated a go-around. He then lost control of the airplane, and it impacted grass off to the side of the runway. The student pilot reported no mechanical anomalies and stated that he used 10-degrees of flaps instead of 30-degrees during the approach. At the time of the accident, the student pilot had accumulated 23 hours of total flight experience, all in the make and model, and within the previous 90 days.
