## Analysis

THE ACFT WENT OFF THE WET RUNWAY ONTO THE WET GRASS DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND INTO SOME ROCKS. THE INSTRUCTOR WAS MAKING THIS FINAL LANDING. BRAKING WAS POOR FROM A LIGHT RAIN. AS A TURN WAS STARTED ONTO A TAXIWAY AT THE END OF RUNWAY 22 THE ACFT WENT ONTO THE WET GRASS AND CONTINUED DOWN AN EMBANKMENT. THE BRAKES WERE CHECKED AND OPERATED SATISFACTORILY AFTER THE ACCIDENT.
