## Discrepancy

WHILE PRACTICING TAKEOFF AND LANDINGS, THE TOWER INFORMED PILOT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH LEFT LANDING GEAR.  THE INSTRUCTOR ELECTED TO RETURN TO TAKEOFF AIRPORT.  UPON LANDING THE BRAKEHOSE SEPARATED, AND THE WHEEL, BRAKE ASSY, STUB AXEL AND OLEO PISTON DEPARTED WHEN LANDING WAS MADE ON BOTTOM OF LT GEAR CYLINDER.  PROBABLE CAUSE IS NUMEROUS HARD LANDINGS WITH STUDENTS FLYING. (K)
