Narrative:

Student landed hard and began to lose directional control. I took over control, established full power and climb -- there was a left crosswind (landing 140 degrees wind 100 degrees at 10 KTS), realigned aircraft with centerline. Speed was 65-70 mph, ht 5 ft - - student retracted flaps -- aircraft settled dramatically in a slight crab. Right main sheared off. I maintained directional control and flew aircraft for a crash landing. Problem arose due to student retracting flaps. Supplemental information from acn 253997: callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that the aircraft damage was limited to the right landing gear and flap. The FAA came on the scene and investigated and classified this as an incident. The student reporter does not blame the instructor since he unexpectedly raised the flaps while above the runway before the aircraft had a chance to climb. This cause the aircraft to unctlably fall back to the runway, hitting sideways and shearing off the right landing gear, bouncing back into the air where it stayed until going around for the final landing where the aircraft came to rest off the side of the runway.

Title: AFTER STUDENT PLT BOUNCES FROM HARD LNDG. FLT INSTRUCTOR TAKES CTL OF THE ACFT AND CRASH LANDS RESULTING IN SHEARING OFF THE R MAIN LNDG GEAR. NO INJURIES.

Narrative: STUDENT LANDED HARD AND BEGAN TO LOSE DIRECTIONAL CTL. I TOOK OVER CTL, ESTABLISHED FULL PWR AND CLB -- THERE WAS A L XWIND (LNDG 140 DEGS WIND 100 DEGS AT 10 KTS), REALIGNED ACFT WITH CTRLINE. SPD WAS 65-70 MPH, HT 5 FT - - STUDENT RETRACTED FLAPS -- ACFT SETTLED DRAMATICALLY IN A SLIGHT CRAB. R MAIN SHEARED OFF. I MAINTAINED DIRECTIONAL CTL AND FLEW ACFT FOR A CRASH LNDG. PROB AROSE DUE TO STUDENT RETRACTING FLAPS. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 253997: CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED THAT THE ACFT DAMAGE WAS LIMITED TO THE R LNDG GEAR AND FLAP. THE FAA CAME ON THE SCENE AND INVESTIGATED AND CLASSIFIED THIS AS AN INCIDENT. THE STUDENT RPTR DOES NOT BLAME THE INSTRUCTOR SINCE HE UNEXPECTEDLY RAISED THE FLAPS WHILE ABOVE THE RWY BEFORE THE ACFT HAD A CHANCE TO CLB. THIS CAUSE THE ACFT TO UNCTLABLY FALL BACK TO THE RWY, HITTING SIDEWAYS AND SHEARING OFF THE R LNDG GEAR, BOUNCING BACK INTO THE AIR WHERE IT STAYED UNTIL GOING AROUND FOR THE FINAL LNDG WHERE THE ACFT CAME TO REST OFF THE SIDE OF THE RWY.
