THE STUDENT PILOT LANDED HARD AND BOUNCED THE AIRPLANE BACK INTO THE AIR ABOUT 20 FEET. THE INSTRUCTOR TOOK OVER THE CONTROLS BUT WAS UNABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE BEFORE IT STALLED AND STRUCK THE RUNWAY WITH THE LEFT WING AND TAIL. THE AIRPLANE THEN DEPARTED THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, STRIKING A RUNWAY LIGHT. THERE WERE NO MECHANICAL FAILURES OR MALFUNCTIONS WITH THE AIRPLANE BEFORE THE ACCIDENT.
Probable Cause: IMPROPER RECOVERY FROM A BOUNCED LANDING BY THE STUDENT PILOT AND THE DELAYED REMEDIAL ACTION OF THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT. CONTRIBUTING TO THIS ACCIDENT WAS THE STUDENT PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER DESCENT RATE WHICH RESULTED IN A BOUNCED LANDING AND THE CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR PILOT'S INADEQUATE SUPERVISION DURING THE LANDING.
