That's everything on file so far — TailWiki checks the FAA registry daily and adds new entries as N8074E's record changes.
On the day of the accident, the student pilot performed three takeoffs and landings with his flight instructor before he was cleared by the instructor for solo pattern flight. A video recording showed that during his second solo landing, the airplane bounced, and then began a go-around. During the go-around the airplane pitched up sharply, stalled, turned toward the left and descended to the ground. The airplane impacted the left side of the runway, sustained substantial damage to the left wing and forward fuselage, and a post impact fire ensued. The flight instructor reported that there were no pre-accident anomalies with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
