Narrative:

My husband, the student, and I were conducting pattern work training. Student had 2 previous good lndgs. Upon coming in for the third landing, student flared approximately 7-10 ft above the runway. He ballooned up, thereby causing a stall and a hard landing. After landing on the main wheels, the student pushed the yoke forward, thus causing the nosewheel strut pin to break. This caused the front tire to blow out, which caused the edges of the propeller to scrape the runway. CFI's again, should stress to their students the importance of maintaining the proper airspeed when and throughout landing and not to flare too early. Bleed power off slowly and always remember -- never stop flying the airplane until parked.

Title: SPI ON LNDG STALLS ACFT, MAKES HARD LNDG. ACFT DAMAGED.

Narrative: MY HUSBAND, THE STUDENT, AND I WERE CONDUCTING PATTERN WORK TRAINING. STUDENT HAD 2 PREVIOUS GOOD LNDGS. UPON COMING IN FOR THE THIRD LNDG, STUDENT FLARED APPROX 7-10 FT ABOVE THE RWY. HE BALLOONED UP, THEREBY CAUSING A STALL AND A HARD LNDG. AFTER LNDG ON THE MAIN WHEELS, THE STUDENT PUSHED THE YOKE FORWARD, THUS CAUSING THE NOSEWHEEL STRUT PIN TO BREAK. THIS CAUSED THE FRONT TIRE TO BLOW OUT, WHICH CAUSED THE EDGES OF THE PROP TO SCRAPE THE RWY. CFI'S AGAIN, SHOULD STRESS TO THEIR STUDENTS THE IMPORTANCE OF MAINTAINING THE PROPER AIRSPD WHEN AND THROUGHOUT LNDG AND NOT TO FLARE TOO EARLY. BLEED PWR OFF SLOWLY AND ALWAYS REMEMBER -- NEVER STOP FLYING THE AIRPLANE UNTIL PARKED.
