Narrative:
During an instructional flight, with a view to becoming authorized to use the La Môle aerodrome, the pilot in an instructional situation carried out an approach to runway 06. On approach, the instructor signaled four times to “pay attention to the speed”, without the pilot correcting. During the flare, the pilot pitched the aircraft excessively, which simultaneously caused the STALL alarm to be triggered and the stick-pusher angle of attack protection system to be activated . This system induced an instantaneous variation in pitch attitude (-15.5°/s). The contact with the ground, on the propeller and the nose gear, was brutal. All five propeller blades were damaged.

The pilot restored power and asked the instructor for instructions, who was slow to take control again. The landing on runway 24 took place normally .
