## Narrative

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

THE FOLLOWING IS FROM A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE PILOT IN COMMAND.

TRAINING FLIGHT WITH STUDENT CHRIS HANCOCK. THE CONDITIONS AT THE TIME WERE WITHIN DEMONSTRATED ABILITIES. THE LESSON WENT WELL. THE LAST LANDING WAS LOOKING GOOD. STABILIZED 65 KTS. OVER THE END OF THE AIRPORT, PLANE WAS CONFIGURED AS IT SHOULD. TOUCH DOWN AROUND THE NUMBERS, SLOWING DOWN, THEN THE GUST WEATHER-VANES THE PLANE, KIND OF FELT LIKE A QUARTERING TAIL WIND. THE STUDENT WAS FOLLOWING ME ON THE CONTROLS, AS THE PLANE STRAIGHTENED OUT; WE WERE NOW ON THE LEFT EDGE OF THE CLEAN PAVEMENT, NEARLY STRAIGHT, BUT AS THE AIRCRAFT SLOWED IT STARTED PULLING THE LEFT MAIN DEEPER INTO THE SNOW. AS WE SLOWED TO A JOG TYPE SPEED, IT PULLED THE NOSE IN THE SNOW AND THAT WAS IT, OVER WE WENT?.

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.
