## Narrative

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

WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 18TH. A STUDENT AND THE PILOT COMPLETED A PREFLIGHT OF N5352U. CHECKED THE WEATHER AND NOTAMS FOR KPRC. THEN DEPARTED KPRC TO EVALUATE THE STUDENTS ABILITY TO PERFORM THE

REQUIRED MANEUVERS FOR SOLO FLIGHT.

AFTER THE STUDENT PERFORMED THE MANEUVERS THEY RETURNED TO

KPRC TO EVALUATE HIS PATTERN, LANDINGS , TOUCH AND GOES, AND GO AROUND. THE STUDENT PERFORMED TWO TOUCH AND GOES IN LEFT TRAFFIC 21L. AT WHICH POINT THEY REQUESTED A LANDING TO A FULL STOP. THEY WERE GIVEN CLEARANCE TO LAND ON RUNWAY 21L. AFTER TOUCHING DOWN ON 21L THE STUDENT ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE RUNWAY TO THE RIGHT AT THE NEXT AVAILABLE TAXIWAY WHICH WAS C5.

THE AIRCRAFT WAS STILL MOVING TOO FAST TO MAKE A SAFE EXIT AT C5 AND THE STUDENT APPLIED THE BRAKES SO HARD THAT THE AIRPLANE STARTED TO SKID TOWARD THE C5 TAXIWAY SIGN. THE PILOT'S REACTION WAS TO APPLY BRAKES FROM MY CONTROLS, THEY CONTINUED TO SKID AND THE PROPELLER STRUCK A RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT BEFORE CORNING TO A STOP ABOUT 3 FEET FROM THE C5 TAXI SIGN.

THEY SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY DID NOT HAVE THE SPACE TO MANEUVER AROUND THE SIGN. AFTER AIRPORT OPERATIONS TOOK SOME PHOTOGRAPHS THEY PUSHED THE AIRPLANE BACK, STARTED THE ENGINE AND TAXIED

TO THE HANGER.
