Flight Details
Two pilots were conducting a local practice flight under Civil Air Patrol operations. The pilot flying decided to execute a practice forced landing to a nearby 4,000-foot private airstrip.
Approach and Landing
While turning final, the pilot observed the aircraft was high and performed a slip to descend to approximately 400 feet above ground level. At that point, the check pilot noted the aircraft was in a 'perfect' position for landing about 200 feet beyond the threshold and then diverted attention away from the approach.
The pilot then entered a second slip on short final to dissipate excessive airspeed, subsequently stating that the aircraft 'landed short of runway.' The check pilot sensed the second slip, observed the aircraft was low, and called for a go-around just prior to impact.
Impact
The aircraft struck an upslope 25 feet short of the runway. No further details were provided.
