The 4,582-hour flight instructor who was occupying the right seat, reduced engine power at mid-field to simulate an engine failure for the 18-hour student pilot that was flying the airplane from the left seat. As the airplane rolled out on final landing. The flight instructor noted that the airplane was "approximately 200 feet high" when the student pilot stated that he felt "uncomfortable." The flight instructor reported that as he took command of the airplane and added full engine power, a gust of wind pushed the airplane to the right and south of the runway. The airplane then struck the ground and bounced. Approximately 80 knots and 60 feet of altitude, the airplane's left wing dropped, and the flight instructor then "chopped the power and fuel." The airplane impacted the ground and come to rest upright off the runway. At the time of the accident, the wind was reported from 120 degrees and 9 knots.
Probable Cause: The instructor's delay in executing a go-around and his failure to maintain aircraft control due to inadequate compensation of wind gusts. A contributing factor was the gusty winds.
