What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The commercial pilot flight instructor was conducting dual flight instruction with a commercial pilot at the controls flying from the right seat. The approach was normal, but his flare was too high and he made a hard landing. The airplane bounced and he added full power to go-around. The airplane would not climb. The airplane was substantially damaged when it struck the ground a second time, collapsing the nose gear and buckling the firewall. There were no injuries. Density altitude was calculated at 8,385 ft. MSL.
