## Narrative

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

WHILE CONDUCTING A REJECTED LANDING, DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WAS LOST WITHIN A FEW FEET OF THE GROUND AND THE AIRCRAFT DRIFTED TO THE LEFT. THE INSTRUCTOR ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE LEFT DRIFT BY APPLYING EXCESSIVE RIGHT RUDDER. THE LEFT WING TIP CONTACTED THE RUNWAY AS THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED LEFT OFF THE RUNWAY. IT SETTLED TO THE GROUND WHILE YAWING TO THE RIGHT, DAMAGING THE LANDING GEAR AND PROP. THE AIRCRAFT THEN SKIDDED TO A STOP APPROXIMATELY 65' LEFT OF THE RUNWAY AT A 45 DEG. ANGLE TO THE RUNWAY.

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.
