Probable cause
The delayed remedial action by the pilot-in-command (CFI) to the student's pushing the control yoke forward on short final approach.
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 noted that while on short final just prior to the landing flare the student pilot pushed forward on the control yoke. He stated he was late with a corrective action and the airplane landed hard and the nose gear collapsed.
