The student pilot was practicing takeoffs and landings when the engine lost power while the airplane was on final approach, at an altitude of about 150 ft above the ground. The pilot was able to restore engine power, but it was 'too late to slow [the] descent' and avoid a hard landing. The right wing sustained substantial damage.
The pilot noted the importance of maintaining airspeed 'even in [an] emergency engine failure'.
A postaccident examination revealed no anomalies that would have precluded normal operations. The reason for the loss of engine power could not be determined with the available information.
