Narrative:

While returning from a routine training exercise on mar/94 at XX50 hours the nose gear collapsed on landing when the trainee placed the gear operating lever in the up position. The trainee performed the landing checklist on downwind leg, and after he finished, I performed the landing checklist again. On final approach to moraine airpark I-73 runway 26, I went through gear propellers and fuel checks again, at which time I informed the trainee there was a 12 KT crosswind from 220 degrees to runway 26. With full flaps, the landing was competed with a small amount of bounce and the aircraft settled onto the runway tail low. The aircraft was slowing down when the trainee's right hand left the throttles and immediately placed the gear operating lever in the up position. There was no time for me to react to prevent this action. There were no prior visual indicators from the trainee to alert me of such possible action. The trainee has a total time in the aircraft of 71.1 hours, of which 20 were dedicated to actual multi-engine training. The remainder of the time is cross country trips where he acted as sole manipulator of the controls with me as PIC. Corrective actions: cockpit procedures have been discussed and new ones have been implemented. During the landing and rollout the trainee's right hand will remain on the throttles with my left hand on top until the aircraft is slowed to a safe taxi speed, at which time I will call out further procedures for him to perform from the checklist.

Title: NOSE GEAR COLLAPSES ON A PA-34 AS TRAINEE PLT RAISES GEAR HANDLE ON LNDG PROC ROLLOUT.

Narrative: WHILE RETURNING FROM A ROUTINE TRAINING EXERCISE ON MAR/94 AT XX50 HRS THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED ON LNDG WHEN THE TRAINEE PLACED THE GEAR OPERATING LEVER IN THE UP POS. THE TRAINEE PERFORMED THE LNDG CHKLIST ON DOWNWIND LEG, AND AFTER HE FINISHED, I PERFORMED THE LNDG CHKLIST AGAIN. ON FINAL APCH TO MORAINE AIRPARK I-73 RWY 26, I WENT THROUGH GEAR PROPS AND FUEL CHKS AGAIN, AT WHICH TIME I INFORMED THE TRAINEE THERE WAS A 12 KT XWIND FROM 220 DEGS TO RWY 26. WITH FULL FLAPS, THE LNDG WAS COMPETED WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF BOUNCE AND THE ACFT SETTLED ONTO THE RWY TAIL LOW. THE ACFT WAS SLOWING DOWN WHEN THE TRAINEE'S R HAND LEFT THE THROTTLES AND IMMEDIATELY PLACED THE GEAR OPERATING LEVER IN THE UP POS. THERE WAS NO TIME FOR ME TO REACT TO PREVENT THIS ACTION. THERE WERE NO PRIOR VISUAL INDICATORS FROM THE TRAINEE TO ALERT ME OF SUCH POSSIBLE ACTION. THE TRAINEE HAS A TOTAL TIME IN THE ACFT OF 71.1 HRS, OF WHICH 20 WERE DEDICATED TO ACTUAL MULTI-ENG TRAINING. THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME IS XCOUNTRY TRIPS WHERE HE ACTED AS SOLE MANIPULATOR OF THE CTLS WITH ME AS PIC. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: COCKPIT PROCS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AND NEW ONES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED. DURING THE LNDG AND ROLLOUT THE TRAINEE'S R HAND WILL REMAIN ON THE THROTTLES WITH MY L HAND ON TOP UNTIL THE ACFT IS SLOWED TO A SAFE TAXI SPD, AT WHICH TIME I WILL CALL OUT FURTHER PROCS FOR HIM TO PERFORM FROM THE CHKLIST.
