Narrative: aircraft incident record involving citabria N9198L occurring January 6, 1994. On January 6, 1994 at 1730 PST, a citabria CH-10 owned and operated by david gray was involved in a landing incident during an instructional flight terminating at Reid Hillview airport. VFR conditions prevailed and a VFR flight plan was not filed. The aircraft received minor damage and there were no injuries. David gray, who was the pilot-in-command, stated in a telephone conversation that he was giving proficiency training to mark mason on the operation of a tail wheeled aircraft. Mr. Gray indicated that after an uneventful flight training session, the student exited the runway at a higher than normal taxi speed, applied brakes too hard and caused the nose to dip down and the propeller to contact the dirt next to the taxiway. There was minor repairable damage to the propeller. There was no damage to airport property and no injuries. Mr. Gray also stated that the onset darkness hindered his ability to recognize and react to the student's control input. The instructor was counseled on the importance initiating corrective actions to student errors before they escalate into accident. This concludes the investigation and the report is closed. No 8020.11 was generated, and no pilot deviation was filed.
