Incident Overview
The flight instructor reported providing simulated instrument flight instruction to a private pilot rated student. During the instruction, due to increased wind and rain and decreasing visibility, the instructor took control of the airplane while returning to the airport.
Landing Sequence
Prior to touchdown, the instructor kept the airplane in ground effect to reduce airspeed. The airplane touched down about halfway down the 3,578-foot runway, bounced twice, and touched down again. The instructor then applied brakes, and the student retracted the flaps.
Post-Landing Excursion
After exiting the runway onto a taxiway, the instructor applied brakes, but the airplane was still traveling too fast when it entered the ramp. It veered slightly left of the taxiway centerline and struck three unoccupied airplanes on the ramp.
Aircraft Damage
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing and left wing spar box.
Weather Conditions
The automated weather observation station located on the airport reported that about the time of the accident, the wind was from 200° at 16 knots, gusting 16 knots, visibility 1 statute mile, broken clouds at 3,900 feet, temperature 81°F, dew point 73°F, with heavy rain. The airplane landed on runway 27C.
The instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
