What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The flight plan: east departure, normal takeoff, climb check, cruise check, get ATIS for
Fort Pierce, approach briefing, approach checklist, 5 full stop taxi backs at fort
Pierce, north departure, climb check, cruise check, get ATIS for vero beach,
Approach briefing, approach checklist, full stop landing at vero beach.
We asked for 5 full stop taxi backs at Fort Pierce. We were instructed to make
Left downwind for 10L, then instructed to change to 10R during downwind for 10L.
Made a full stop taxi back and took off 10R. We were instructed to change back
To 10L for the next landing.
This is part of the flight instructor statement that follows after taking off of 10L we made a normal traffic pattern. Approach to landing in
The last 300 feet we were tracking runway centerline and continued descent.
There is no glide slope indicator for 10L, but it visually looked like a stabilized
Approach. There was a right crosswind with gust, so our approach was bumpy
And the airspeed fluctuated. I felt it was safe for her to continue with the
Conditions.
Sp rounded out right of centerline and angled the nose to the right. Ip took
Controls and landed. Attempted to use full brakes but no change happened.
There was no pull forward when using brakes. Right main gear hit yellow
Directional sign and took off the main gear completely. Still tried to hold brakes on
Left side but we kept sliding on the grass. Prop continued turning when we were
On the ground. Ip completed shut down checklist.
No injuries reported ip and student departed aircraft. Emergency personnel was already on scene.
