## Narrative

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

^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ (CFI) WAS HIRED BY ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ TO PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONAL TRAINING IN THIS AIRCRAFT.

THE CFI TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRCAFT ALIGNING THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE RUNWAY22L. AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE PILOT LOSS CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT VEERED TO THE LEFT. THE CFI INDUCED FULL RIGHT RUDDER AND FULL LEFT AILERON CONTROLS.

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.
