The Seawind 300C (C-FTSW) was on an experimental flight test for the certification process. Prior to touchdown the aircraft was performing a simulated engine failure from 50 feet above ground level with a subsequent landing. The first attempt was successful but on the second attempt the engine power was reduced to idle and the nose pushed down, both actions were part of the flight test process. The aircraft reacted differently to the first attempt and lost height more rapidly which resulted in a hard landing and substantial damage to the left main gear, wing and engine mounts. The pilot was uninjured and exited the aircraft with no difficulty.
