PA28 INSTRUCTOR LETS TRAINING MANEUVER GO TOO FAR AND TOUCHES DOWN OFF THE RWY.

Narrative

ON OCT/MON/06; I WAS CONDUCTING A TRAINING FLT WITH MY INITIAL CFI APPLICANT. IT WAS THE FIRST FLT WHERE I HAVE HIM TEACH ME A LNDG. WE WERE LNDG ON RWY 26 AND THE WINDS WERE VARIABLE 310-340 DEGS UNDER 10 KTS. THE ARPT DID NOT HAVE A WX RPTING STATION. I WAS MANIPULATING THE CTLS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TKOF AND LNDG. DURING ROUNDOUT; I INTENTIONALLY GET A LITTLE AGGRESSIVE CAUSING THE ACFT TO BALLOON. SINCE THERE WAS A SMALL XWIND; I WAS NOT MAKING ANY CORRECTIONS AND THE ACFT DRIFTED TO THE L. I THEN WAIT TO SEE WHEN THE APPLICANT WILL INSTRUCT ME TO GO AROUND OR IF HE OR SHE WILL TAKE CTLS OF THE ACFT. THE APPLICANT WAS VERY HESITANT TO REACT. I WAIT UNTIL I FEEL I CAN STILL SAFELY RECOVER FROM THE SITUATION BEFORE I GO BACK TO 'INSTRUCTOR' MODE AND FLY THE ACFT. AS I INITIATED THE GAR; THE STALL HORN SOUNDED AND THE ACFT STARTED TO SINK. ONCE I DETERMINED TOUCHDOWN WAS IMMINENT; I LEVELED THE WINGS AND STRAIGHTENED THE NOSE. THE ACFT BRIEFLY TOUCHED DOWN S OF THE RWY IN SHORT; DRY; LEVEL GRASS. I FEEL THAT THE MAIN DETERMINATION OF THE OCCURRENCE WAS ME NOT CORRECTING THE SITUATION SOONER. THIS IS A MANEUVER I DO WITH EVERY CFI APPLICANT AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROB IN THE PAST. THIS PARTICULAR STUDENT HAS STRUGGLED THROUGH THE CFI COURSE. I DECIDED TO BE EVEN MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE FLARE TO PUT NO DOUBT IN THIS STUDENT'S MIND TO GO AROUND. TO CORRECT FUTURE SITUATIONS; I WILL NOT LET MISTAKES GO AS FAR ANYMORE. I STILL PLAN ON DOING THIS MANEUVER TO ILLUSTRATE THE HAZARD AND NECESSITY OF GOING AROUND; BUT NOT NEARLY AS AGGRESSIVELY AND NOT LETTING IT GO AS FAR AS IT DID. IF THE APPLICANT DOES NOT INITIATE A GAR WITHIN A FEW SECONDS; I WILL ASSUME THE ROLE AS INSTRUCTOR AND THOROUGHLY DEBRIEF WITH THE STUDENT DISCUSSING THE HAZARDS OF INDECISION. I ALSO HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT I CAN'T GET TOO COMFORTABLE IN ANY ACFT. I NEVER INTENTIONALLY LET ANY MANEUVER GET UNSAFE; I FELT I STILL HAD ENOUGH TIME TO SAFELY RECOVER. I CAN'T ALLOW MYSELF TO GET COMPLACENT NO MATTER WHAT MY EXPERIENCE LEVEL IS.
