What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The instructor and student flew to an airport for tailwheel landing training. The weather conditions there included rain and winds reported at 050 at 8 knots, gusting to 16 knots. When landing on rwy 36 and on rollout, the student began to drift the aircraft right, into the wind, and toward a runway edge light. The instructor assumed control, but the aircraft maintained its course into the grass. As brakes were applied, the aircraft continued down a slight embankment and overturned. Neither pilot was injured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage to the vertical stabilizer, propeller, and both wings.
