What is ASRS?
The Aviation Safety Reporting System is NASA's voluntary, confidential, non- punitive incident-reporting system, established 1976. Pilots, controllers, dispatchers, and maintenance technicians file reports describing safety- relevant events. NASA de-identifies every report before adding it to the public database. Reports are not investigated by NASA, the FAA, or the NTSB — they represent the reporter's perspective.
Pilot narrative
Verbatim from the de-identified NASA record. First-person account by the
reporter. NASA strips identifying details (names, company, specific time);
anonymization placeholders are ZZZ,
X, Y.
Flight instruction to increase proficiency. Low time private pilot Landing aircraft in slight crosswind started losing control and wildly over controlling. He rejected advice and resisted assistance on the controls. Resulting in a 90 swerve off runway with some damage. This could have been avoided if the private pilot listened to advice or accepted help. A potentially dangerous situation due to anti authority attitude. Education during training seems to have no effect on this. I don’t know what the answer is.

ASRS reports are voluntarily submitted, de-identified by NASA, and represent the reporter's perspective. The presence of reports on a topic cannot be used to infer prevalence in the National Airspace System. The authoritative source is the NASA ASRS Database Online at asrs.arc.nasa.gov ↗.
