## Narrative

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

(-23) DURING THE LANDING FLARE THE STUDENT,^PRIVACY DAT^ WAS TOO HIGH. THE INSTRUCTOR,^PRIVACY DATA ^ TOLD THE STUDENT TO GO AROUND. THE STUDENT DID NOT RESPOND UNTIL THE INSTRUCTOR TOLD HIM A SECOND TIME.WHEN FULL POWER WAS APPLIED THE STUDENT BROUGHT THE NOSE UP ABOVE THE CRITICAL ANGLE OF ATTACK. THE INSTRUCTOR STATED HE HAD THE CONTROLS AND THEN NOTICED THE STUDENT HAD FROZEN ON THE CONTOLS AND HAD NOT LET GO. THE INSTRUCTOR WAS ABLE TO GET THE NOSE DOWN BUT NOT IN TIME TO PREVENT A HARD LANDING. THE LEFT MAIN STRUCK FIRST AND THEN THE LEFT WING TIP SCRAPED THE RUNWAY. THE AIRPLANE DEPARTED THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT AND WAS STOPPED IN THE GRASS BY THE INSTRUCTOR.

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.
