The airplane entered a left downwind at 1,500 feet msl for a 3,500-foot by 50-foot runway, which was bordered by corn 3 feet from both edges. The instructor told the pilot to conduct a power off landing. When the airplane was abeam the touchdown point, the pilot retarded the throttle, lowered the landing gear, and selected one notch of flaps. The pilot made one continuous turn from downwind to final. On the base leg portion of the turn, the pilot selected the second notch of flaps. He turned final, and at some point selected full flaps. When the airplane was about 10 feet above the runway, the pilot commented they were going to hit a little hard. The instructor responded by telling him to add 'a little power.' The pilot advanced the throttle to full open; the airplane turned left; the left wing contacted the corn; and the airplane impacted the ground, coming to rest inverted.
Probable Cause: The instructor's failure to take remedial action.
