What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) The flight was a training flight to practice basic flight maneuvers with an instructor and student pilot with about 12 hours flight time on board. The student had successfully completed 3 landings under the guidance of the instructor. On the 4th landing she flared the aircraft high. The aircraft slowed and fell, landing hard on the runway damaging the nose gear, main landing gear and left wing tip. The aircraft bounced back into the air at which time the instructor took control and landed the aircraft. When the student pilot flared and slowed the aircraft too high above the runway, the instructor was late correcting the situation.
