## Narrative

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

DURING THE TAKEOFF ROLL, WHILE ON A TRAINING FLIGHT, THE STUDENT ROTATED PREMATURELY, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO BECOME AIRBORNE.   WHILE IN GROUND EFFECT, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR PUSHED FORWARD ON THE YOKE, REDUCED POWER, AND SETTLED THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO THE RUNWAY.AT THIS TIME, THE AIRCRAFT VEERED LEFT, DUE TO THE STUDENT'S INADVERTENT LEFT BRAKE INPUT, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO DEPART THE RUNWAY INTO AN AIRCRAFT PARKING AREA.  THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR THEN TOOK THE CONTROLS.  BEFORE THE INSTRUCTOR COULD STOP THE AIRCRAFT, IT IMPACTED A PARKED GLIDER (RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE GLIDER) AND CAME TO A STOP IN FRONT OF AN OPEN HANGAR.  THE AIRCRAFT WING ALSO STRUCK THE PROPELLER ON THE AIRCRAFT PARKED IN THE OPEN HANGAR.

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.
