The airplane sustained substantial damage during an aborted landing attempt. During the instructional flight the student pilot began the landing flare approximately 15 to 20 feet above ground level (agl) and then elected to perform a go-around. During the go-around the aircraft continued to descend and the certified flight instructor (CFI) took over the control of the airplane. The CFI stated, "My first action was to verify throttle and mixture were both forward - which they were. At this time the stall warning horn sounded so I immediately lowered the nose to gain airspeed. At this point we were ~ 5 feet off the ground in ground effect and I remember the right wing was lowered in an attempt to get back to the runway." The student pilot reported, "With full power applied the plane started to sink. The instructor took control of the airplane. The plane refused to fly and went down to the left of runway 12." The airplane impacted three runway edge lights, a runway marker cone, and a runway intersection sign prior to the nose gear collapsing.
Probable Cause: The failure to attain airspeed, inadequate supervision of the flight, and delayed remedial action which resulted in a stall.
