Investigators recorded the probable cause as: the instructor's misjudged landing flare. This summary draws on records from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) historical archive.
During a training flight, a simulated engine failure led to a hard landing, bounce, and settled landing. No mechanical issues were reported.
Incident Overview
A flight instructor was conducting a simulated engine failure demonstration during takeoff. The takeoff and initial climb proceeded normally until the instructor reduced the throttle to idle at an altitude of approximately 100-150 feet above ground. The nose was pitched down to maintain 70 KIAS in accordance with the airplane manufacturer's recommendations.
Sequence of Events
During the landing flare, the instructor perceived a high rate of descent but chose to continue the maneuver and landing. The airplane made contact with the runway on all three landing gears, then bounced back into the air before settling back onto the runway. The aircraft came to rest in an upright position.
Aftermath
The instructor reported that there were no preimpact mechanical malfunctions with the airplane.
