Incident Overview
A flight instructor was conducting a training flight with a student pilot whom she had not previously flown with. At the conclusion of the flight, she guided the student through a short field landing procedure. The approach began too high, prompting a reduction in power.
Sequence of Events
As the airplane descended through an altitude estimated between 50 and 100 feet above the runway, the flight instructor detected an excessive sink rate and assumed control of the aircraft. Despite her intervention, she was unable to arrest the sink rate before touchdown. The airplane subsequently bounced multiple times on the runway surface.
Damage and Consequences
The repeated bounces resulted in the collapse of the nose landing gear and structural damage to the firewall. No other details regarding injuries or aircraft condition were provided in the source.
