THE STUDENT WAS PERFORMING A SHORT FIELD APCH DURING THE DUAL INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT AND THE ACFT WAS HIGH ON FINAL APCH. THE INSTRUCTOR SAID HE BELIEVED THE LANDING COULD STILL BE COMPLETED. THE ACFT TOUCHED DOWN AT THE RWY MIDPOINT, RAN OFF THE END OF THE RWY AND NOSED OVER. THE INSTRUCTOR ALSO SAID HE REALIZED ADDITIONAL BRAKING WAS NEEDED DURING THE LANDING ROLL. A GO-AROUND WAS NOT ATTEMPTED.
Probable Cause: THE IMPROPER IN-FLIGHT PLANNING BY THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT WHEN HE ALLOWED THE PRIVATE PILOT STUDENT TO LAND LONG. ADDITIONALLY, THE INSTRUCTOR DELAYED REMEDIAL ACTION UNTIL THE RUNWAY OVERRUN WAS INEVITABLE.
