What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
04/30/2011 At 1720 local time the 656 hour private pilot rated PIC, occupying the right front seat, allowed the student pilot, occupying the left seat to land the airplane at 44N. In a statement by the PIC (right seat) he stated that he told the student pilot that, "I am the PIC" prior to the flight even though he also stated that, "it was the first time that I flew with the guy (student pilot)" and also that, "I've never flown from the right (seat)" upon touchdown on runway 35, the aircraft was left of centerline, the PIC (right seat) told the student pilot (person operating the flight controls) to, "throttle back." The student pilot then, "went to full throttle." The PIC (right seat) stated that he (the PIC) tried to control the airplane by applying brakes but, did not reach up to reduce the throttle. The aircraft struck a runway light and then impacted heavy brush with the left wing and eventually bent that wing up at approximately a 45 degree angle with the aircraft coming to rest approximately facing the opposite direction of intended landing. The PIC stated that he shut down and he and the student pilot exited the aircraft through the right over wing door (only door). The PIC refused medical care while the student pilot was transported to the hospital complaining of head pain. The student was released from the hospital later that evening.
