## Narrative

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

NARRATIVE: AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT WITH STUDENT AND INSTRUCTOR ON BOARD HAD REPORTED WEST OF AIRPORT FOR LANDING. TOWER TOLD FLIGHT TO REPORT LEFT DOWNWIND FOR RUNWAY 28. FLIGHT ENTERED RIGHT TRAFFIC FOR RUNWAY 28. AFTER BEING CLEARED TO LAND AND ROLLING OUT ON RUNWAY, TOWER INSTRUCTED AIRCRAFT TO CONTINUE TO END OF RUNWAY AND EXIT AT TAXIWAY ALPHA. AIRCRAFT INSTEAD EXITED ABOUT MIDFIELD AT TAXIWAY BRAVO. NO CONFLICTS WITH OTHER AIRCRAFT, NO OTHER AIRCRAFT IN PATTERN. SPOKE WITH MR. NICHOLS, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR. HE STATED THAT THE STUDENT HAD HANDLED COMMUNICATIONS AND HE DID NOT RECALL STUDENT OPERATING CONTRARY TO ATC INSTRUCTIONS. HOWEVER, HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HE MAY NOT HAVE HEARD ALL CALLS. RECOMMENDED TO INSTRUCTOR THAT HE CONTACT CONTROLLER TO RESOLVE ISSUE. THIS WAS DONE. I CONTACTED TOWER SUPERVISOR, HE WAS SATISFIED THAT ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THIS INCIDENT IS CLOSED.

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.
