Probable cause
The dual student allowed the airplane to stall because of improper use of the throttle, which resulted in a touch down short of the proper point. A factor in the accident was the inadequate supervision by the flight instructor.
Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
During an instructional flight for a commercial certificate the CFI demonstrated a simulated engine out, spiral approach to the runway. The dual student then performed a similar maneuver. On short final the student allowed the airplane to stall which resulted in a hard landing short of the runway.
