THE STUDENT HAD CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE FOR LANDING ON RUNWAY 25. AS THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN IT QUICKLY (WITHIN A COUPLE OF SECONDS) VEERED TO THE RIGHT, THEN LEFT AND THEN BACK TO THE RIGHT. THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE WHEN IT WAS AT AN APPROPRIATE 45 DEGREE ANGLE TO THE RUNWAY. THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT APPLIED FULL POWER AND ATTEMPTED TO INITIATE A GO AROUND. AS THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT PULLED UP HE HEARD A "THUNK" AND NOT KNOWING WHAT HAD CAUSED THE NOISE HE DECIDED TO PUT THE AIRPLANE BACK DOWN.

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.
