The flight instructor reported that during the first landing attempt, the airplane was high on approach, and the student initiated a go-around at the instructor’s direction. During the second landing attempt, the airplane again was high on final approach, and the student flared a “little high” and landed hard on the runway. The instructor applied full engine power and right rudder to initiate a go-around but was unable to maintain directional control and the airplane exited the left side of the runway and came to rest in a grassy area adjacent to the runway. During the runway excursion, the airplane’s left main and nose gear separated,and the left wing impacted the ground, resulting in substantial damage to the left wing. The flight instructor reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N410UV](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N410UV), registered now, S/N 1084/US, built 2024 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: COSTRUZIONI AERONAUTICHE TECNA P-MENTOR - Registry model: [Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecna P-MENTOR](https://openairdocs.org/model/costruzioni-aeronautiche-tecna-p-mentor) (registry code 0330565) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Rotax 912ISC series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/rotax-912isc-series) (registry code 55591, 4 cycle) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 1084/US - Year built: 2024 - Airframe hours: 468.3 - Engines: Rotax 912 ISC 3Sport 100 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Instructional, Part 91 - Operator: HDW Florida Helicopters Inc., doing business as XFlight - Registered owner: Urva Aviation USA Corp - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: 100 hour, May 13, 2026, 42 hours before - Departed: FXE, Fort Lauderdale, FL - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: PMP, Pompano Beach Airpark, runway 06, 4,001 × 150 ft, asphalt - Equipment: Onboard weather, Stall warning system, ADS-B, Auto-pilot, Electronic multifunction display, Electronic primary flight display ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
