What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Flight instructor, brian case, was giving instruction to ultalight operator john lane, in an Aeronca champ. The operator waned to gain some tail wheel experience, and thus hired a certificated CFI to gave him "dual" insruction. While teaching Mr. Lane how the aircraft operators at high speed and tail up on the ground, lane input the incorrect rudder correction. Before Mr. Case could regain control of the aircraft, the aircraft ran off of the runway, hit a burm, and became airbrone. Case added full power, flew the aircraft around the pattern and returned to land. The aircraft sustained minor damage. The admission, mistakenly thought the ultralight operator had more experience than he did. CFI was stearnly counseled that ultralight operators are in no way shape or form remotely qualified to fly a certificated aircraft. Thier knowledge bse is severely lacking.
