What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 11/19/2008, pilot privacy data omitted was receiving training on a new Aviat husky with the instructor privacy data omitted in the rear seat, performing touch and goes on runway 36R. According to the report of both individuals, after an uneventful landing, the aircraft started to drift to the right of the runway on rollout. At that time there was a crosswind component gusting from 020 degrees. The elevator trim wall rolled full back (full up) the pilot applied left rudder to correct the drift and straighten the aircraft. As the aircraft slowed the tail started to raise and the instructor came on the controls but was unable to prevent the propeller striking the runway. The pilot and CFI were uninjured and exited the aircraft. When questioned about possibility of braking when the left rudder was applied, the CFI privacy data omitted said it was very possible. Aircraft was removed to a hanger at the local FBO. The aircraft was examined, controls seemed to be free and brakes free, aircraft rolled freely without braking.
