Narrative:
During the beginning of an instructional lesson in the PA44-180 with a private multi-engine rated student working on his commercial. An engine cut with the mixture was performed by the instructor on the right engine. The student failed to immediately correct for the situation and the aircraft yawed to the right. As soon as the right engine cut out, the other mixture was also brought to the cut-off position and full left rudder and full left brake were applied by the instructor. The control inputs were not enough to overcome the momentum of the yaw and the aircraft ran off the right side of the runway end through a runway light. The light hit the aircraft just right of the fuselage and caused no damage to the aircraft. The cause of the problem was that the application of corrective actions were applied too late to recover from the situation. To prevent the situation from repeating, the instructor is going to review runway engine cuts with his assisted chief pilot before doing engine cuts again and corrective action will be applied quicker in the future.

Title: COMMERCIAL PLT TRAINEE DURING MULTI-ENG TRAINING IN A PIPER PA44 LOST CTL OF THE ACFT DURING TKOF ROLL AND WENT OFF THE R SIDE OF THE RWY RUNNING OVER A RWY LIGHT.
Narrative: DURING THE BEGINNING OF AN INSTRUCTIONAL LESSON IN THE PA44-180 WITH A PVT MULTI-ENG RATED STUDENT WORKING ON HIS COMMERCIAL. AN ENG CUT WITH THE MIXTURE WAS PERFORMED BY THE INSTRUCTOR ON THE R ENG. THE STUDENT FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY CORRECT FOR THE SIT AND THE ACFT YAWED TO THE R. AS SOON AS THE R ENG CUT OUT, THE OTHER MIXTURE WAS ALSO BROUGHT TO THE CUT-OFF POS AND FULL L RUDDER AND FULL L BRAKE WERE APPLIED BY THE INSTRUCTOR. THE CTL INPUTS WERE NOT ENOUGH TO OVERCOME THE MOMENTUM OF THE YAW AND THE ACFT RAN OFF THE R SIDE OF THE RWY END THROUGH A RWY LIGHT. THE LIGHT HIT THE ACFT JUST R OF THE FUSELAGE AND CAUSED NO DAMAGE TO THE ACFT. THE CAUSE OF THE PROB WAS THAT THE APPLICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTIONS WERE APPLIED TOO LATE TO RECOVER FROM THE SIT. TO PREVENT THE SIT FROM REPEATING, THE INSTRUCTOR IS GOING TO REVIEW RWY ENG CUTS WITH HIS ASSISTED CHIEF PLT BEFORE DOING ENG CUTS AGAIN AND CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL BE APPLIED QUICKER IN THE FUTURE.
