## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: MR. BISHOP WAS CONDUCTING FLIGHT INSTRUCTION WITH MR. GRETO IN A CE-152 WITH A TAIL WHEEL CONVERSION ON RUNWAY 35 AT SUMMIT AIRPORT (N92). AFTER A GOOD THREE POINT LANDING, THE STUDENT, MR. GRETO, STARTED TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT. MR. GRETO OVER CORRECTED TO THE RIGHT. MR. BISHOP APPLIED LEFT RUDDER AND BRAKE AND RIGHT AILERON. THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, SANK INTO THE MUD AND THE LEFT LANDING GEAR COLLAPSED.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
