Human Factors
My student got a prop strike on his first solo. My student has more than 60 hours (he changed 3 times of instructor because they got a job in the airlines). Before soloing him I covered all the part 61-87 and even sent him to pre solo with another instructor; he is a very good student and always since I started with him he did all his landing without my help. So after giving him the pre solo written test and the 3 endorsements for the solo; he took off under my supervision; did his traffic pattern and got the clearance to land full stop on; he touched down but started to bounce; at the 3 bounces the nose wheel collapsed and he finished his landing on the prop. Of course; I have taught him about going around but he was so focused on landing the airplane.
A flight instructor reported observing a student pilot on the first solo flight; bounce on landing resulting in a collapsed nosegear and prop strike.
