The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

On the 5th approach and landing, the student corrected for the crosswind with only right rudder (not using alerion). The instructor told the student to add alerion as well. The student overcorrected and the instructor said my controls, but the student did not let go and continued to add left aileron impacting the left-wing tip on the ground.
