The pilot was instructed by the certified flight instructor (CFI) to perform a short field landing. While on final approach to the runway, the airplane was slowed "close to stall." When it appeared that the airplane was not going to make the runway, the CFI advised the pilot to add power. Unable to recover from the descent with power, the airplane touched down in a grassy area 15 feet prior to the runway threshold. The airplane continued onto the runway, where the nose landing gear sheared from the fuselage, and the main landing gear collapsed.
Probable Cause: The pilots failure to obtain the proper touchdown point, and the CFI's delay in remedial action.
