Analysis
While in the vicinity of Jackson, LA, the instructor pilot (ip) had the student make a simulated forced landing. The landing was to be to a full stop on the Jackson airport. According to the initial modification, the student allowed the aircraft to drift left and touch down with the left main gear off of the runway. Later in a written statement, the ip reported that the student touched down short of the runway. During the initial touchdown, the aircraftbounced and the ip took control and attempted to go around. However, the aircraft touched down again, went off of the left side of the runway, and came to rest with a collapsed nose and left main gear.
