What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot (CFI) was giving instruction/demonstration flight to the second pilot (private pilot) in the Cessna model 319, a conventional gear aircraft. CFI made the first takeoff and landing to demonstrate the charecteristics and performance of the aircraft. The second pilot (private pilot) then took controls and set up for landing. Upon touch down the left main gear began to chatter. The CFI assumed control of the aircraft and added power to keep the nose up, but the left gear began to sweep aft. The power was reduced to idle. Aircraft settled to the runway and slid approximately 20 yards to stop.
