What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Flight training on landings was being conducted on runway 12 at Capital City Airport (cxy). Prior to the landing, both the flight instructor and student pilot decided this would be their last landing due to the weather conditions (increase in wind velocity and variable wind direction). During the landing phase, the student pilot was in control of aircraft. The flight instructor took control of the aircraft after student pilot indicated he was having trouble controlling the aircraft. After touchdown, a strong gust of wind caused the aircraft to leave the right side of the runway into the grass area. The instructor was able to stop the aircraft. The flight instructor then taxied the aircraft back onto the hard surface runway and returned to the ramp parking area. After maintenance evaluation of the aircraft, it was determined that the propeller had incurred damage to the propeller tips.
