In preparation for his commercial pilot check ride, the flight instructor had the private pilot perform a short field takeoff. During the climbout, the airplane encountered minor turbulence with "some" fluctuation in airspeed. The flight instructor then had the private pilot perform a short field landing, and during the final approach leg, the private pilot chose an aiming point "just prior to the start of the runway" to begin his flare. Everything appeared normal on approach until the airplane suddenly sank, then impacted the ground about 10 feet prior to the runway. The airplane subsequently struck the "lip" of the runway, bounced, and impacted the runway "hard" on its landing gear. A postflight examination of the airplane revealed a flat nose landing gear strut. Winds were from straight ahead, at 12 knots, gusting to 20 knots. The private pilot reported that due to the proximity of the ground, and the speed at which the sink occurred, no recovery techniques could be applied. There were no mechanical anomalies noted with the airplane.
Probable Cause: The private pilot's failure to attain the proper touchdown point, and the flight instructor's inadequate remedial action, which resulted in a landing short of the runway. A contributing factor was the gusty wind conditions.
