## Narrative

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

THE STUDENT WAS SEATED UP FRONT AND THE INSTRUCTOR WAS SEATED IN THE REAR SEAT. UPON LANDING THE STUDENT PILOT OVER-CORRECTED BY MOVING THE CONTROL STICK TO FAR FORWARD FORCING THE AIRCRAFT IN A NOSE DOWN ATTITUDE. THE INSTRUCTOR WAS NOT ABLE TO CORRECT IN TIME AND THE PROPELLER STRUCK THE RUNWAY PAVEMENT.  AFTER THE EVENT, THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT VOLUNTARILY PURSUED REMEDIAL TRAINING

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.
