What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Simulated engine out landing initiated at 4,500 MSL. Student positioned aircraft for landing on runway 22 (a grass runway). Instructor directed student to land so as to avoid asphalt cross runway--i.e. to either land so as to stop prior to asphalt runway, or beyond it. Approach path was too high to land and stop prior to crossing asphalt runway, aircraft touched down on 22 past cross runway, approximately 1200 feet of runway remaining. Instructor took control of airplane, applied brakes, determined that runway remaining was insufficient to stop, so added power to go, then decided to abort takeoff and attempted to stop. Aircraft stopped approximately 300 feet beyond runway end markers--100 feet beyond the end of the runway 22 grass overrun. (.19) on November 11, 2001, at 1445 central standard time, a Piper PA-28-161, N523PU, piloted by a certified flight instructor (CFI) and dual student, was substantially damaged when on landing it overran runway 22 (2,825 feet by 160 feet, turf), at the New Ulm Municipal Airport, New Ulm, Minnesota. The dual student held a private pilot certificate. The instructional flight was operating in visual meteorological conditions and was not on a flight plan. The flight was conducted under the provisions of 14 CFR part 91. The CFI and student were not injured. The intended local flight originated from the mankato regional airport (mkt), mankato, Minnesota, at 1400.
