Event

During the final stage of a visual approach to Runway 27, as the aircraft descended through approximately 150 feet, the pilot retarded the throttles to ground idle. The check pilot immediately advanced the throttles again, but by then the aircraft had developed a high rate of descent.
Outcome
The aircraft touched down very hard on the threshold of Runway 27, causing the nose gear and left main landing gear to break off. The extent of damage to other parts of the aircraft was not specified.
