Narrative:

A private pilot with aircraft single and multi engine land ratings was seeking his biennial flight review in his own small transport. In this same aircraft I had given this student much of his INS rating instructions. Other students have received much of their multi engine land instruction from me in this aircraft, also. We departed from the aircraft's home base at howell, livingston county airport for the second half of the flight portion of the BFR. Single engine operations and emergency procedures were to be the primary skills reviewed. Kellogg regional, battle creek airport was chosen because of its abundantly long runway, more or less aligned with the forecast winds. Several maneuvers and procedures were successfully executed. The last scheduled maneuver to be practiced at battle creek, an engine failure on takeoff with runway remaining, was attempted. On the takeoff roll everything appeared normal. Climbing through 500' or better above ground level, I simulated an engine failure of the right engine. The student reacted normally and as expected by lowering the nose and bringing both throttles to idle. At this time I gave the student back both engines. I maintained a vigil of the airspeed indicator and observed indications equal to or faster than 'blue line' all the way to 100' AGL when the student began to slowly round out. Almost immediately the stall warning horn activated and I immediately took over control of the aircraft by stopping any pitch rotation, lowering the nose and advancing the throttles full forward. The aircraft rolled slightly to the right and contacted the ground first on the right main gear. I suspect an abnormally strong wind gradient or gust shear. The landing did not appear so hard as to cause any damage, but on later inspection, some wing wrinkling and bent propeller tips were evidence of some minor damage.

Title: TWIN SMT PRACTICING ENGINE OUT PROCS ENCOUNTERS WIND SHEAR, AND THE GND SHORTLY THEREAFTER. ACFT DAMAGE RESULTS.

Narrative: A PVT PLT WITH ACFT SINGLE AND MULTI ENG LAND RATINGS WAS SEEKING HIS BIENNIAL FLT REVIEW IN HIS OWN SMT. IN THIS SAME ACFT I HAD GIVEN THIS STUDENT MUCH OF HIS INS RATING INSTRUCTIONS. OTHER STUDENTS HAVE RECEIVED MUCH OF THEIR MULTI ENG LAND INSTRUCTION FROM ME IN THIS ACFT, ALSO. WE DEPARTED FROM THE ACFT'S HOME BASE AT HOWELL, LIVINGSTON COUNTY ARPT FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE FLT PORTION OF THE BFR. SINGLE ENG OPS AND EMER PROCS WERE TO BE THE PRIMARY SKILLS REVIEWED. KELLOGG REGIONAL, BATTLE CREEK ARPT WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE OF ITS ABUNDANTLY LONG RWY, MORE OR LESS ALIGNED WITH THE FORECAST WINDS. SEVERAL MANEUVERS AND PROCS WERE SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED. THE LAST SCHEDULED MANEUVER TO BE PRACTICED AT BATTLE CREEK, AN ENG FAILURE ON TKOF WITH RWY REMAINING, WAS ATTEMPTED. ON THE TKOF ROLL EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL. CLBING THROUGH 500' OR BETTER ABOVE GND LEVEL, I SIMULATED AN ENG FAILURE OF THE RIGHT ENG. THE STUDENT REACTED NORMALLY AND AS EXPECTED BY LOWERING THE NOSE AND BRINGING BOTH THROTTLES TO IDLE. AT THIS TIME I GAVE THE STUDENT BACK BOTH ENGS. I MAINTAINED A VIGIL OF THE AIRSPD INDICATOR AND OBSERVED INDICATIONS EQUAL TO OR FASTER THAN 'BLUE LINE' ALL THE WAY TO 100' AGL WHEN THE STUDENT BEGAN TO SLOWLY ROUND OUT. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE STALL WARNING HORN ACTIVATED AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK OVER CTL OF THE ACFT BY STOPPING ANY PITCH ROTATION, LOWERING THE NOSE AND ADVANCING THE THROTTLES FULL FORWARD. THE ACFT ROLLED SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT AND CONTACTED THE GND FIRST ON THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR. I SUSPECT AN ABNORMALLY STRONG WIND GRADIENT OR GUST SHEAR. THE LNDG DID NOT APPEAR SO HARD AS TO CAUSE ANY DAMAGE, BUT ON LATER INSPECTION, SOME WING WRINKLING AND BENT PROP TIPS WERE EVIDENCE OF SOME MINOR DAMAGE.
