What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 15 April 2010, at 1330 CDT, flight instructor (CFI) was training a student pilot (who had approximately 50 hours). According to the flight instructor's account, during the landing phase, the aircraft's nose was not aligned with the runway centerline. The CFI directed a right pedal input to the student to align the nose with the center line. The student's right pedal input was excessive, and the CFI elected to manipulate the controls to align the aircraft for landing. After touchdown, the student applied full brakes. The aircraft veered to the left off the runway into the grass and in the process struck and broke a runway light. Only aircraft damage noted was a damaged tire.
