Incident Overview
During a practice landing, the aircraft made a hard touchdown and bounced back into the air. The student pilot then applied excessive forward pressure on the yoke, resulting in a second hard landing in a nose-low attitude. The instructor pilot attempted to salvage the landing but was unsuccessful.
Sequence of Events
On the third bounce, the aircraft swerved off the right side of the runway onto a grassy area. The nose gear collapsed and the left wing tip contacted the ground.
Findings
The incident was caused by the student pilot's application of excessive forward yoke pressure, which led to the second hard landing and subsequent loss of control.
