During a dual instructional flight, the student pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings. The flight instructor gave him a practice engine out approach to landing. During final approach, a high sink rate occurred and the aircraft landed hard, bounced, and came to rest in a ditch beside the runway. Both wings, all the landing gear, and the propeller suffered damage. The student pilot had 27 hours total experience and the flight instructor had 56 hours in make and model, but no experience in make and model in the preceding 90 days. The accident occurred during daylight hours and the weather was winds from the north at 3 knots, clear skies, and a density altitude of 8,200 feet. The landings were being performed to runway 15.
Probable Cause: Inadequate supervision by the certified flight instructor. Factors were loss of control by the student pilot, the flight instructor's failure to properly monitor the student pilot's rate of descent on final approach, and the flight instructor's lack of recent experience in make and model.
