On April 16, 2020 at approximately 1730 CDT civil aircraft N737RR, a Cessna 172, made contact with the ground during an attempted aborted landing at Fairmont airport, OK (1OK). Reported winds from woodring airport at the approximate accident time were from 180 degrees at 22 knots gusting 29 knots. The aircraft was on approach to the south runway approximately 100-200 feet above the ground when the instructor, student and passenger reported a sudden gain and then drastic loss in altitude. The instructor commanded control of the aircraft from the student and could not stop the descent and did not control the direction of the aircraft down the runway. The aircraft came into contact with the ground off the east side of the runway approximately halfway down the runway. The aircraft contacted the ground left wing low, striking the wingtip and bending approximately three feet of the front of the wing to over four feet of the rear of wing and aileron upwards. The aircraft came to rest facing an easterly direction about 250 feet into the wheat field east of the runway center point. The instructor taxied the aircraft back to the runway and after a short period departed the runway, flying back to woodring regional airport (wdg). Upon arrival at woodring with no other incident, the instructor parked the aircraft. In addition to the left wing tip and aileron being bent upward, the left aileron was jammed and could not move up past the neutral position. No other damage was found during the investigation.
