NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

The flight instructor was demonstrating a landing to the student when the airplane landed “very hard”, bounced once and then landed on the nose gear. The flight instructor immediately shut down the engine and discovered the control yoke was jammed in the full aft position. The hard landing caused substantial damage to the forward firewall and the lower forward fuselage which jammed the elevator control mechanism. The two occupants were not injured and immediately exited the airplane.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The flight instructor’s improper recovery from a bounced landing.
