What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
After first takeoff of day, a landing was intiated by the flying pilot with the flight instructor giving instruction. Flight instructor reports that on touchdown the student inadvertently applied substantial left brake which caused the aircraft to veer to the left. The instructor was unable to overcome the veer with rudder control alone since he had no brakes installed on his side. The aircraft continued to veer to the left and ground looped on the runway, damaging the left wingtip, propeller and left main landing gear. No fire insued and there were no injuries.
