| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The flight instructor reported that during a night training flight the airplane was high on final approach. He further reported that during the landing flare, the airplane ballooned and then touched down hard. The flight instructor attempted to abort the landing, but the nose gear collapsed during the touchdown and the airplane veered off the runway.
The right wing and left elevator sustained substantial damage.
The flight instructor did not report any mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The student pilot's incorrect landing flare and the flight instructor's delayed remedial action, which resulted in a hard landing, nose wheel collapse, and runway excursion.
