## Narrative

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

DURING PRACTICE EMERGENCY LANDINGS CONDUCTED CONCURRENTLY WITH SHORT-FIELD LANDINGS, THE PILOT REPORTED THAT THE STUDENT RETARDED THE THROTTLES RESULTING IN A SIGNIFICANT SINK RATE. THE INSTRUCTOR ASSUMED THE FLIGHT CONTROLS AND ADVANCED THE THROTTLES WITH INSUFFICIENT TIME TO PREVENT THE IMPACT WITH THE RUNWAY. THE RESULTING IMPACT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR TIE-DOWN HOOK AND SURROUNDING SKIN WHEN THE AIRCRAFT LANDED AND A POST LANDING INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO BASE FOR REPAIRS. CFI SPECIAL EMPHASIS TEAM MEMBERS WILL COUNSEL THE INSTRUCTOR.
