## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE AIRMAN STATED THAT HE WAS PROVIDING FLIGHT INSTRUCTION FOR A STUDENT PILOT, AND AFTER THE STUDENT MADE AN ABRUPT LANDING AT THE CRAZY HORSE AIRPORT (97F), THEY CAME TO A STOP AND TAXIED BACK TO THE RUNWAY.  THE WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THE TIME WERE AN ESTIMATED 12 KNOTS FROM 130 DEGREES WITH 10 SM VISIBILITY.  AFTER THEY DEPARTED THE INSTRUCTOR WANTED TO DEMONSTRATE THE LANDING FOR THE STUDENT AND AS HE MADE HIS APPROACH HE ALLOWED THE AIRSPEED TO DECAY TOO MUCH DURING THE LANDING FLARE AND EVEN WITH THE APPLICATION OF POWER THE AIRCRAFT HIT "VERY HARD."  THE AIRCRAFT HIT WITH THE MAIN TIRES FIRST AND BOUNCED INTO THE AIR, THEN HIT THE RUNWAY "HARD," THE SECOND TIME EVEN THOUGH A SECOND APPLICATION OF POWER WAS APPLIED.  AFTER EXITING THE AIRCRAFT THE PILOTS EXAMINED THE AIRFRAME AND NOTED THAT THE NOSE GEAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN UPWARD INTO THE ATTACHMENT AND REARWARD TOWARDS THE FUSELAGE.  THEY ALSO NOTICED WRINKLES IN THE BELLY SKIN AND ALONG THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE COWLING AREA AND A WRINKLE IN THE FIREWALL.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES.
