## Narrative

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

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.

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.
