## Narrative

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

AFTER LANDING LEFT OF CENTERLINE, THE STUDENT PILOT FAILED TO APPLY THE APPROPRIATE AMOUNT OF RIGHT RUDDER DURING THE LANDING TO PROPERLY ACCOUNT FOR CROSSWINDS. OF NOTE, THE WINDS EXCEEDED THE STUDENT PILOT’S ENDORSED LIMITS UPON ARRIVAL BUT WERE WITHIN LIMITS UPON DEPARTURE. THE STUDENT PILOT BECAME ANXIOUS DURING THE ROLLOUT AND OVERCONTROLLED THE AIRPLANE; ALSO, BECAUSE OF IMPROPER FOOT PLACEMENT ON THE RUDDER PEDALS, THE STUDENT INADVERTENTLY TOUCHED THE LEFT BRAKE, RESULTING IN THE RUNWAY EXCURSION. AT THAT POINT, THE STUDENT INITIATED A GO-AROUND, BUT NOT AFTER STRIKING THE LEFT-WING FLAP AND LEFT PORTION OF THE HORIZONTAL STABILATOR. FOLLOWING THE GO-AROUND, THE STUDENT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
