The private pilot was receiving instruction for the purpose of a biennial flight review and checkout in a flying club airplane. The flight instructor stated that he was demonstrating 'procedures for engine failure on takeoff.' After completing a normal takeoff, and climb to an altitude of approximately 150-200 feet above ground level, the flight instructor reduced power to idle and lowered the nose to complete the landing. The instructor stated, '[I] misjudged the flare at [the] bottom of glide, resulting in a hard landing, forcing the nose gear forward.'
Probable Cause: the pilot misjudged the flare, resulting in a hard landing and subsequent collapse of the nose gear.
