## Narrative

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

AIRCRAFT DEPARTED ORANGE COUNTY AIRPORT IN MONTGOMERY, NY(KMGJ) TOWARDS HUDSON VALLEY REGIONAL AIRPORT IN WAPPINGER FALLS, NY (KPOU).  THE STUDENT PILOT WAS TO PRACTICE TOUCH AND GO LANDINGS.  DURING THE 1ST TOUCHDOWN, THE STUDENT WAS ABLE TO PERFORM A NORMAL TOUCHDOWN AND TRANSITIONED TO TAKE OFF ROLL.  AFTER THE TAKE OFF, THE PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) HEARD THE TOWER COMMUNICATING WITH ANOTHER AIRCRAFT AND INSTRUCTED THEM NOT TO LAND DUE TO A NOSE WHEEL FALLING OFF THE AIRCRAFT.  THE PIC THEN COMMUNICATED WITH THE TOWER TO CONFIRM THE TRANSMISSION.   A LOW PASS FLIGHT WAS CONDUCTED TO VERIFY THAT THE NOSE WHEEL IN FACT WAS MISSING.   THE PIC DECIDED TO DO A FEW GO AROUNDS TO BURN SOME FUEL AND THEN PERFORMED A SOFT FIELD LANDING WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE STUDENT PILOT.   AIRCRAFT LANDED AND STOPPED ON THE RUNWAY.  IT WAS SECURED AND MOVED TO THE RAMP.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System.

Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
