What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
This was an instructional flight.
During the takeoff phase, the student pilot opted to fly a soft-field takeoff on runway 19L, which she had flown before. The student pilot approached the runway with aft yoke pressure. Initially, she added power gradually, maintaining centerline, at an acceptable pitch attitude where the runway ahead was visible. After accelerating approximately 200’ - 500’ she suddenly and abruptly added max power and pitched for rotation. As the plane had already accelerated, the nose lifted, the stall horn was audible, and I could feel the plane lift off the ground; as the plane lifted, it yawed to the left. I took the controls after the sudden power and pitch input. However, at this point the plane was at a pitch attitude where nothing over the nose was visible and the student pilot had pulled the power to idle. My first action was reducing AOA as the plane was not ready to fly, in doing so I was able to regain visuals over the nose and recognized the plane was on a trajectory for a runway excursion. By this time, we were barely off the ground and I knew my immediate priority was getting on runway 19L. I applied right aileron immediately, touching down, and made the correction to steer for centerline using right rudder. Thereby, avoiding further excursion into the gravel/grass, the larger taxiway and runway signs, adjacent taxiway a, and the non-movement/ramp area. After steering for centerline,
As the FAA filed it
THIS WAS AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT.
DURING THE TAKEOFF PHASE, THE STUDENT PILOT OPTED TO FLY A SOFT-FIELD TAKEOFF ON RUNWAY 19L, WHICH SHE HAD FLOWN BEFORE. THE STUDENT PILOT APPROACHED THE RUNWAY WITH AFT YOKE PRESSURE. INITIALLY, SHE ADDED POWER GRADUALLY, MAINTAINING CENTERLINE, AT AN ACCEPTABLE PITCH ATTITUDE WHERE THE RUNWAY AHEAD WAS VISIBLE. AFTER ACCELERATING APPROXIMATELY 200’ - 500’ SHE SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY ADDED MAX POWER AND PITCHED FOR ROTATION. AS THE PLANE HAD ALREADY ACCELERATED, THE NOSE LIFTED, THE STALL HORN WAS AUDIBLE, AND I COULD FEEL THE PLANE LIFT OFF THE GROUND; AS THE PLANE LIFTED, IT YAWED TO THE LEFT. I TOOK THE CONTROLS AFTER THE SUDDEN POWER AND PITCH INPUT. HOWEVER, AT THIS POINT THE PLANE WAS AT A PITCH ATTITUDE WHERE NOTHING OVER THE NOSE WAS VISIBLE AND THE STUDENT PILOT HAD PULLED THE POWER TO IDLE. MY FIRST ACTION WAS REDUCING AOA AS THE PLANE WAS NOT READY TO FLY, IN DOING SO I WAS ABLE TO REGAIN VISUALS OVER THE NOSE AND RECOGNIZED THE PLANE WAS ON A TRAJECTORY FOR A RUNWAY EXCURSION. BY THIS TIME, WE WERE BARELY OFF THE GROUND AND I KNEW MY IMMEDIATE PRIORITY WAS GETTING ON RUNWAY 19L. I APPLIED RIGHT AILERON IMMEDIATELY, TOUCHING DOWN, AND MADE THE CORRECTION TO STEER FOR CENTERLINE USING RIGHT RUDDER. THEREBY, AVOIDING FURTHER EXCURSION INTO THE GRAVEL/GRASS, THE LARGER TAXIWAY AND RUNWAY SIGNS, ADJACENT TAXIWAY A, AND THE NON-MOVEMENT/RAMP AREA. AFTER STEERING FOR CENTERLINE,
