Incident Overview
An instructor pilot and a student—a rated private pilot—were conducting a flight to provide dual instruction for a commercial pilot certificate. The approach was made to a runway with a slight downslope in the touchdown area.
Sequence of Events
The instructor estimated that the student rounded out approximately 5 feet high. Subsequently, the aircraft stalled, touched down hard, and the left main gear strut assembly was forced into the left wing structure.
Damage
The left main gear strut assembly was pushed into the left wing. No other damage details were provided.
Instructor's Assessment
The instructor noted the student's high round-out as the precipitating event. The aircraft's stall and hard landing resulted in the gear collapse.
