Narrative:THE PILOTS WERE COMPLETING A PARACHUTE/ORIENTATION FLIGHT. AFTER THE PARACHUTISTS EXITED, THE AIRPLANE, WITH THE FIRST PILOT AT THE CONTROLS, RETURNED TO THE AIRPORT, DESCENDING AT THE MAXIMUM DESCENT RATE. THE SECOND PILOT, A COMPANY CHECK PILOT, REPORTED THAT THE FIRST PILOT TOUCHED DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY ON THE NOSE AND RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEARS AT A HIGH AIRSPEED. THE AIRPLANE SUBSEQUENTLY SWERVED TO THE LEFT AND STRUCK A BUSH LOCATED AOUT 150 FEET FROM THE RUNWAY CENTERLINE AND NOSED OVER.
Probable Cause: THE EXCESSIVE APPROACH SPEED AND FAILURE OF THE FIRST PILOT TO FLARE THE AIRPLANE PROPERLY. A FACTOR WAS THE FAILURE OF THE SECOND PILOT TO PROPERLY SUPERVISE THE FLIGHT.
