Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The dual instructional flight terminated in a crosswind landing with the rated pilot receiving dual instruction manipulating the controls. During the landing rollout directional control was lost and the aircraft veered to the left. According to the instructor the dual student overcorrected to the right and the airplane went off the right side of the rwy. As the airplane was steered back toward the runway the right main landing gear collapsed and the right wing was substantially damaged.
