What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On July 25, 2018 the instructor returned from the north practice area to Sanford (ksfb) for landing practice with two student pilots with their private pilot ratings who were working on their commercial/instrument ratings. One pilot was in the left seat and he was flying the approach, the other, was an observer in the back seat. The initial ATIS information echo at 1953Z (1553 EST)reported winds 170 at 8 knots, visibility 10 sm, altimeter 29.93. On arrival approach advised there was light to moderate precipitation approaching the airport. Tower cleared the student flying the SA-20, tail number N482DA for a visual approach to runway 27C and to keep the base leg in close. Then cleared to land on runway 27C. Weather was over runway 27L. Tower reported the winds gusting to 20 knots. Instructor added 4 knots to the approach speed (75 +4 =79KTS) the instructor reported rain on approach but the runway was still visible. The insructor took over the controls from the student prior to final approach. Due to the gusty winds, the instructor landed with 50 flaps. He encountered moderate rain on landing, with less than one mile visibility. The instructor held the aircraft off to lose excess airspeed for landing then bounced once on landing. After landing the rain stopped 3/4 of the distance down the runway-near the intersection of taxiway m. N482DA was cleared to taxi straight ahead onto taxiway K1, then to the ramp. The instructor was taxing faster than normal. The aircaft was left of the taxi line on the ramp and struck 3 parked aircraft on the left side of the ramp; a Cirrus (N613DA), a Piper seminole (588nd) and a Cessna 172 (N5491).
