What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Instructor stated that student was flying the aircraft and was given the option to land on 27C or 27R. The student chose 27R. During the approach they were asked by the tower if they wanted to fly straight to the numbers or extend the downwind due to other traffic for runway 27R. They chose to fly straight to the numbers even though it required a short approach and unusual angle. The instructor stated that due to the distraction caused by the other traffic and trying to clear the runway the student missed the turnoff and struck a runway light damaging the right propeller.
