THE ATP RATED CFI WAS PERFORMING A RENTAL CHECKOUT WITH A PRIVATE PLT. THE CHECK PLT TOLD THE PLT TO MAKE A LANDING AND 'IF SUFFICIENT RUNWAY REMAINED,' TO MAKE ANOTHER TAKEOFF. A LANDING WAS COMPLETED ON RWY 8R, A 4,100 X 75 FT ASPHALT RWY. THE CHECK PILOT HAD BEEN FOLLOWING THROUGH ON THE CONTROLS BUT DURING THE LANDING ROLL HE RELEASED THE CONTROLS AND WAITED FOR THE PLT TO STOP. HE SAID THAT AS SOON AS HE REMOVED HIS HANDS FROM THE CONTROLS, THE STICK WENT FORWARD AND HE HEARD THE ENGINE SPEED UP. THE AIRPLANE SWERVED TO THE LEFT. THE CHECK PLT TOOK THE CONTROLS AND ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE SWERVE, TO NO AVAIL. THE PLANE STRUCK A SNOW DRIFT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY AND NOSED OVER.
Probable Cause: 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.
