## Narrative

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

ON JANUARY 11, 2019 A PA 30 WHILE LANDING AT THE BELLINGHAM WA. AIRPORT ON RUNWAY RY34 UNINTENTIONALLY  EXITED THE WEST SIDE OF THE RUNWAY APPROXIMATELY 1500FT FROM THE THRESHOLD. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT WINGTIP AND THE RIGHT PROPELLER STRUCK THE GROUND. THE STUDENT PILOT AND THE INSTRUCTOR WERE PRACTICING ENGINE OUT LANDING PROCEDURES. THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT DURING THE SINGLE ENGINE APPROACH HE PULLED THE MIXTURE CONTROL TO CUT OFF DURING FINAL. THE AIRCRAFT HAD FULL  RUDDER TRIM APPLIED TO ASSIST WITH THE YAW FOR THE SINGLE ENGINE AND WHEN THE AIRCRAFT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT PULLED HARD TO THE RIGHT AND WENT INTO THE GRASS. NO INJURIES OCCURRED.

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.
