What happened
A flight instructor and a student pilot were conducting maneuvers and landings to prepare for a commercial pilot rating evaluation. Following a normal pattern to runway 17 at the Frisco Jetport, the student pilot closed the throttle and lowered the nose slightly while crossing the threshold between 50 and 75 feet AGL to maintain airspeed.
At approximately 15 feet AGL, the student raised the nose to begin the round out. When it became apparent that the rate of descent was not slowing, both the instructor and the student attempted to apply power. The aircraft subsequently made a hard landing, causing it to bounce and become airborne again. During the sequence, the left main gear was ripped off the aircraft. The instructor took control and landed the aircraft on the right main gear alone. The aircraft came to rest in an upright position with its nose off the edge of the runway.
The aircraft sustained damage to the propeller, the left wing, and both the left and right main landing gear. At the time of the accident, recorded winds at Addison Airport, located 10 nautical miles south of the incident, were from 180 degrees at 18 knots. The calculated density altitude was 2,247 feet.
