What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Student and CFI performing crosswind landing on runway 17L at kapa airport, student on the controls. Aircraft did not appear well positioned for landing and CFI stated "maybe we should go around". Student continued toward runway and with the application of power, pitched up and veered to the left (it is not clear if tires touched runway surface). A gust of wind may have contributed to the aircraft banking to the left though CFI stated student used left yoke control input. The aircraft then banked right with the right wing tip touching the surface followed by the aircraft nosing over and the propeller striking the ground. The nose gear was torn from the aircraft followed by the left wing hitting the ground and left main gear collapsing. The aircraft came to rest clear and east of the runway
As the narratives from the CFI and student differ somewhat it is not exactly certain when the CFI took the controls from the student. CFI and student stated the aircraft was flying and responding normally prior to incident. Pilots reported wind as 220@10, national weather service reported wind as 230@15.
