Factual narrative
ON LATE FINAL, THE PLT UNDER INSTRUCTION REDUCED PWR SHARPLY TO CORRECT A SLIGHTLY HIGH APPROACH, ADVANCING THE PROPELLER CONTROLS TO FULL INCREASE. THE COMBINATION OF POWER REDUCTION AND INCREASED PROFILE DRAG ON THE PROPELLERS WAS EXCESSIVE FOR THE DESIRED RESULT AND THE ACFT SETTLED TO THE RUNWAY SURFACE DESPITE THE ACTION OF THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT IN ADVANCING THROTTLE. THE ENSUING HARD LANDING CAUSED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE WING SPAR CARRY THROUGH ASSEMBLY. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
