What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On 5/8/21 at approximately 1100 local, aircraft departed exx and was inbound for jqf with a student in the left seat and CFI in the right seat. When the aircraft was approximately 2 NM out from jqf turbulence began to increase, crosswinds were experienced and CFI called the controls. Just prior to touch down, the aircraft got pushed to the left of centerline in a crosswind and continued onto the grass where the PIC was able to safely bring the aircraft to rest. No injuries were reported.
Inspector opinion: action by the PIC allowed for a safe and controlled stop rather than applying hard braking and losing control of the aircraft by possibly over-correcting. This was solely a weather incident. (Sas ref. Id EA68202102500)
