Incident Details
During a training flight, an instructor pilot was demonstrating a short-field landing. The aircraft landed short of the runway threshold and struck the runway end marker lights with its landing gear and elevator. After stopping on the runway, neither the instructor nor the dual student observed any damage to the elevator.
Post-Landing Actions
Despite the collision with the marker lights, the two pilots decided to continue the flight. They remained on the runway and prepared for another takeoff. The dual student was at the controls for the departure.
Takeoff and Stall
The student commenced the takeoff. As the airplane became airborne, it pitched up abruptly and entered an aerodynamic stall. The pilots were unable to maintain controlled flight, and the aircraft subsequently descended.
Damage Findings
Examination of the aircraft after the event revealed that the elevator was binding on the horizontal tail. Both the elevator and the horizontal tail had sustained damage. Additionally, the elevator trim was found in the full nose-up position, and the flaps were deployed to the full-down setting.
