What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
While practicing landings with a CFI, a student pilot executed a go around due to gusting winds.
The student pulled back aggressively on the controls leading to an excessive nose up attitude, which
Resulted in the tail of the aircraft striking the runway. This caused abrasion damage to tail skin and rudder cap, as well as shearing off the tie down ring.
Both pilots have received counselling.
The airman counseling consisted of, but was not limited to; emphasis on go-around training with students, a clear and positive change of flight controls emphasis on the word ?controls?, currency and proficiency reviewed in detail not history of flying from a long time ago, avoid expectation bias as not all flight experience is directly relative and it may take some time to get skills and a feel for the plane back, and verify details on the ground such as can the pilot chair fly a go-around stating the procedures out loud.
The CFI has completed additional flight training and the student is scheduled for additional flight training.
