## Narrative

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

ON AUGUST 26, 2015, A CE-195 AIRCRAFT, N1516D, WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED UPON LANDING AT THE BUFFALO-LANCASTER AIRPORT (BQR).  THE FLIGHT WAS BEING CONDUCTED AS A FLIGHT REVIEW.  THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT (IP) INDICATED THAT HE HEARD THE CHIRP OF THE WHEELS SKIDDING ON THE RUNWAY DURING THE LANDING.  HE INSTRUCTED THE PILOT FLYING TO GET "OFF BRAKES" AS THE AIRCRAFT BECAME AIRBORNE A SECOND TIME.  ONCE AGAIN, THE IP INSTRUCTED THE PILOT FLYING TO GET "OFF BRAKES" AS THE AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN AND SUBSQUENTLY FLIPPED OVER.
