Narrative:

After the preflight was completed by the pilot, the flight instrument took his position on the left seat as the pilot was acting as a flight instrument. The destination was fort worth spinks airport and it's area with the purpose of reviewing some private and commercial maneuvers. Just after the takeoff the flight crew experienced some communications problems due probably to some malfunction of the intercom and discovered that the door was not well latched all the way forcing to land as soon as possible. After crossing mid-field the airplane joined 17, left downwind for a short field landing. WX conditions were clear with a light wind between 8-10 KTS from 200 degree. On the short final the instrument told the pilot to watch his airspeed which was 65 KTS instead of 71 KTS (approach speed for small aircraft), the pilot so reacted by adding some power while rounding out for the landing. The right landing gear hit the runway edge causing a failure on it. The airplane immediately uncontrollable on its vertical axis having a strong tendency to yaw to the right even after applying full left rudder deflection. The pilot put throttle idle while the instrument shut off the engine as the airplane empacted into the runway side composed of grass and mud. The airplane was evacuated after being secured. At the origin of this instructional incident there is a mistake of the pilot making a short field landing 'too short' and a mistake of the instrument by not reaching in proper time. But this incident should have been avoided if the runway edge would have been level with the ground or at least the runway edge slope with a less important angle.

Title: LANDED SHORT RESULTING IN RIGHT GEAR FAILURE.

Narrative: AFTER THE PREFLT WAS COMPLETED BY THE PLT, THE FLT INSTR TOOK HIS POS ON THE L SEAT AS THE PLT WAS ACTING AS A FLT INSTR. THE DEST WAS FORT WORTH SPINKS ARPT AND IT'S AREA WITH THE PURPOSE OF REVIEWING SOME PRIVATE AND COMMERCIAL MANEUVERS. JUST AFTER THE TKOF THE FLT CREW EXPERIENCED SOME COMS PROBS DUE PROBABLY TO SOME MALFUNCTION OF THE INTERCOM AND DISCOVERED THAT THE DOOR WAS NOT WELL LATCHED ALL THE WAY FORCING TO LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AFTER XING MID-FIELD THE AIRPLANE JOINED 17, L DOWNWIND FOR A SHORT FIELD LNDG. WX CONDITIONS WERE CLR WITH A LIGHT WIND BTWN 8-10 KTS FROM 200 DEG. ON THE SHORT FINAL THE INSTR TOLD THE PLT TO WATCH HIS AIRSPD WHICH WAS 65 KTS INSTEAD OF 71 KTS (APCH SPD FOR SMA), THE PLT SO REACTED BY ADDING SOME PWR WHILE ROUNDING OUT FOR THE LNDG. THE R LNDG GEAR HIT THE RWY EDGE CAUSING A FAILURE ON IT. THE AIRPLANE IMMEDIATELY UNCONTROLLABLE ON ITS VERT AXIS HAVING A STRONG TENDENCY TO YAW TO THE R EVEN AFTER APPLYING FULL L RUDDER DEFLECTION. THE PLT PUT THROTTLE IDLE WHILE THE INSTR SHUT OFF THE ENG AS THE AIRPLANE EMPACTED INTO THE RWY SIDE COMPOSED OF GRASS AND MUD. THE AIRPLANE WAS EVACUATED AFTER BEING SECURED. AT THE ORIGIN OF THIS INSTRUCTIONAL INCIDENT THERE IS A MISTAKE OF THE PLT MAKING A SHORT FIELD LNDG 'TOO SHORT' AND A MISTAKE OF THE INSTR BY NOT REACHING IN PROPER TIME. BUT THIS INCIDENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE RWY EDGE WOULD HAVE BEEN LEVEL WITH THE GND OR AT LEAST THE RWY EDGE SLOPE WITH A LESS IMPORTANT ANGLE.
