Narrative:
Upon landing on runway aircraft yawed abruptly to the left; pilot overcorrected causing several oscillations till aircraft turned 90 degrees perpendicular to runway. Aircraft then went into grass to right of runway. Instructor took over and taxied to ramp. No one was hurt; but a propeller will have to be replaced. There was no apparent reason for the aircraft to yaw in such a manner to start the incident; landing was smooth and ideal. Minimal crosswind and runway was clear; however snow was on the ground. Aircraft type has had similar incidents with other pilots.
