Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Naples, Florida 34104
Saturday, July 17, 2004 11:00 EDT

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The owner of the airplane stated he made arrangements with the CFI to demonstrate the airplane to the dual student. The dual student stated they departed from Naples for the instructional flight with a southeast heading towards Marco Island to conduct takeoffs and landings. During the flight, they performed steep turns and stalls for the potential buyer to become familiar the airplane. The dual student was on the second touch-and-go exercise, when during the landing the aircraft landed hard. The crew continued the flight and made one more landing with a full stop. The CFI and dual student got out of the airplane to examine the airplane for damage. They noted wrinkles in the skin of the fuselage next to the firewall section. The airplane was flown back to Naples where it was later determined the airplane incurred substantial damage by a licensed airframe and powerplant mechanic.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The dual student's improper landing flare and the pilot-in-command/CFI's inadequate supervision resulting in a hard landing.
