## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23)DURING STUDENT INSTRUCTION OF TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS, ON THE FOURTH TAKE OFF, AT APPROXIMATELY 150 FT. MSL, A LOUD THUMP WAS HEARD. THE NEXT THUMP WAS DIFFERNET IN VOLUME AND THE CONTROLS FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS PUSHING ON THE AILERONS.  THE FOLLOWING THUMP, THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR (LOWER PORTION OF THE OLEO STRUT) CAME THROUGH THE TOP OF THE WING.  RADIO CONTACT WAS MADE AND LANDED TUNRWAY 15 @ IWS.  NO OTHER DMAAGE WAS DONE TO THE AIRCRAFT.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
