The instructor reported that as the airplane neared touchdown during final approach, he set the throttle to idle, leaving his hand on the throttle. The student pilot leaned forward, moving his hand, which in turn moved the throttle forward. The airplane then ballooned on the runway. The student pilot tried to correct this by applying full right rudder. The airplane descended in a 45-degree yaw angle to the right. The instructor said that he tried to correct the yaw, but he was not successful before impact with the runway. The propeller collided with the ground and the airplane skidded off the runway. The nose gear collapsed and the firewall was damaged. The winds were calm.
Probable Cause: the student pilot's improper bounced landing recovery technique, improper use of the flight controls, and the instructor's inadequate supervision of the flight.
