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
The instructor pilot and his student, a rated private pilot, were on a flight to provide dual instruction for a commercial pilot certificate. A landing approach was made to a runway with a slight downslope in the touchdown area. The instructor estimated that the student rounded out about 5 ft high. Subsequently, the aircraft stalled, touchdown hard and the left main gear strut assembly was pushed into the left wing.
