Narrative:

My student was on his first solo flight. When he landed on runway 28 there was another aircraft on short final. He did a full stop taxi back and taxi back on the runway. The second pilot increased the throttle and it sounded like he was going to go-around. As soon as the flying aircraft was situated they pulled the throttle to idle. He descended and was 10 feet above the tail of my students aircraft and landed 700 ft down the runway. Once my student finished the 180 degree turn to head down the runway he saw the approaching aircraft and steered the plane to the edge of the runway. Both pilots steered away from an accident and taxied to their respective hangars.
