What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Flight instructor privacy data omitted stated that during a simulated soft field takeoff in which the student pilot privacy data omitted was on the controls, the student pilot allowed the aircraft to fly out of ground effect before attaining the proper climb out speed by applying too much back pressure on the elevator control. The flight instructor tried to take the controls from the student by properly announcing twice "my flight controls" but the student pilot did not relinquish the controls back to the flight instructor. The flight instructor tried to over power the student pilot but not before the wingtip hit the ground causing the swerve off of the runway into the grass. The student pilot had been handed off from another flight instructor that had prior knowledge that the student pilot privacy data omittedhad a tendency to lock up on the controls from previous instructional flights. This vital information was not given to privacy data omitted until after the incident.
