What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On December 1, 2010, at 1:30 CST, the instructor and student were flight training in N644AM. They departed on runway 22 at Rick Husband Amarillo international airport (kama). The instructor and student were in the pattern practicing landings. The first landing was normal. On the second landing, the instructor stated that everything was normal, the wind was calm, the student touched down on the mains and then lowered the nose. The instructor stated he thought the nose tire might have gone flat, but then noticed the nose fork and tire exit the Aircraft left side and shot past the nose of the airplane. The nose dropped and the nose strut supported the Aircraft, but both propeller blades contacted the runway and curled. Damage to both blades, nose gear strut and nose gear fork and tire. No injuries.
