Note: This analysis may be based on NTSB preliminary reports, which represent an initial, incomplete investigation. Facts can change as the investigation progresses, and preliminary findings should not be assumed to be accurate or final. For older events, a final NTSB report may have been issued — always consult the NTSB Aviation Query for the authoritative record.

NTSB Narrative

FAILURE OF THE DUAL STUDENT TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL AND THE FAILURE OF THE PILOT IN COMMAND (CFI), TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE REMEDIAL ACTION IN A TIMELY MANNER, TO CORRECT THE SWERVE. A SECOND PROBABLE CAUSE WAS THE CFI'S FAILURE TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPERVISION DURING THE LANDING ROLL. INADEQUATE CREW COORDINATION IS CONSIDERED A FACTOR.
