## Narrative

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

THE PILOT IN COMMAND HAD A LESSON SCHEDULED BUT NEEDED TO TAXI TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD FOR FUEL BEFOREHAND.

DURING THE START PROCEDURE, THE PILOT LEFT THE THROTTLE IN THE FULL IN/FULL POWER POSITION. AS A RESULT, WHEN THE PLANE STARTED, THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE PLANE, WHICH RESULTED IN A HIGH SPEED TAXI, EVENTUALLY RUNNING INTO A HANGAR.
