## Narrative

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

ON 9/13/21 ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ WAS INSTRUCTING A STUDENT IN A SIMULATED ENGINE FAILURE AT KTRI AIRPORT. THE TOWER APPROVED THE SHORT APPROACH AND THEY WERE CLEARED FOR THE OPTION. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE RUNWAY AND STRUCK AND DAMAGED A RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT, MISSED THE NEXT LIGHT AND STRUCK AND DAMAGED A SECOND RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT DEPARTED FOR THEIR HOME AIRPORT OF 0A4. THE PILOT WAS ASKED TO CALL THE TOWER WHICH HE DID ONCE ON THE GROUND AT A04 AND THE PILOT REPORTED NO DAMAGE TO OF THE AIRCRAFT TO THE TOWER.

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.
