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 dual student was receiving emergency landing training. Power was reduced while on approach which resulted in a loss of airspeed and a high sink rate. Corrective action was initiated too late and the aircraft touched down a few feet short. The landing gear contacted an elevated lip at the end of the hard surface of the runway and the nose gear collapsed.
