| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The flight instructor in the retractable landing gear-equipped airplane reported that, while demonstrating a touch-and-go landing to a pilot receiving instruction, he reduced the power, and the airplane then descended and landed hard. The pilot then assumed control of the airplane and conducted two additional landings without further incident. However, postaccident examination revealed that the airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing.
The instructor also reported that the pilot's landings were smoother than his; therefore, the damage likely occurred during the instructor's landing.
The instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The flight instructor's improper landing flare, which resulted in a hard landing.
