Summary:

皇冠体育app instructor and his student were engaged in Exercises 12 and 13 (Introduction to Takeoff) of the Private Pilot鈥檚 Licence syllabus. It was the student pilot鈥檚 fifth assisted takeoff and, with full power applied, some right rudder pedal pressure was necessary to keep the aircraft straight. Although the instructor was providing some assistance, he felt that everything was satisfactory until, at a speed of about 30-35 mph, the student suddenly pushed the left pedal hard down and froze. 皇冠体育app instructor shouted 鈥淚 have control鈥� but the student did not appear to hear and the instructor could only oppose the student鈥檚 input sufficient to centre the rudder. 皇冠体育app student then closed the throttle whilst the instructor attempted to apply full power to fly away but again the student prevailed and the aircraft veered off the runway to the left and stopped in a ploughed field.

皇冠体育app student later stated that he had some hearing difficulties but could not offer an explanation for the erroneous pedal input. 皇冠体育app instructor feels that more time may have been required for briefing this student but, as the student had successfully completed takeoffs before, the instructor may have been lulled into a false sense of security about the student鈥檚 ability.
