## Narrative

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

INCIDENT HAPPEN DURING A TRAINING SESSION TO ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ IN HIS P2008T SPORT LIGHT AIRCRAFT, IN WHICH THEY WERE PRACTICING TAKEOOFS & LANDINGS.  IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THEY HAD COMPLETED 6 TO 8 TAKEOFF & LANDING BY NOW.

IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE STUDENT PILOT STARTED THE FLARE TOO HIGH AND WHEN VERY CLOSE TO THE GROUND STUDENT PULL ON THE CONTROL YOKE CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO STARTING TO FLY AGAIN AND REACH APPROXIMATELY 20 FEET.  BASED ON THE EVIDENCE IT APPEARS THAT THE AIRPLANE STOP FLYING AT THIS TIME AND STRUCKED THE GROUND VERY HARD. IT WAS NOTED THAT THE NOSE GEAR WAS BENT, RIGHT  MAIN GEAR WAS SLIGHTLY BENT AND A PROPELLER WAS MISSING FROM THE HUB.

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.
