## Narrative

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

DURING APPROACH TO THE LAST LANDING, THE PILOT UNDER INSTRUCTION (PUI) AND CFI NOTICED THE WINDS ON FINAL SWITCHED TO A LEFT QUARTERING TAILWIND AND DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE LANDING.  ON ROLL-OUT THE AIRPLANE WEATHERVANED TO THE LEFT.  THE PUI APPLIED INCREASING RIGHT RUDDER BUT WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE WEATHERVANING.  PUI WAS NOT ABLE TO UTILIZE THE HEEL BRAKE DUE TO INEXPERIENCE.
