Factual narrative
THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT STATED THAT THE STUDENT WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY ALIGNING THE AIRCRAFT WITH THE RUNWAY DURING THE LANDING APPROACH. AS THEY APPROACHED THE RUNWAY HE INSTRUCTED THE STUDENT TO "GET THE NOSE UP." AT AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET, THE STUDENT PUSHED THE CONTROLS FULL FORWARD. THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT WAS NOT ABLE TO REACT FAST ENOUGH TO PREVENT THE AIRCRAFT FROM COLLIDING WITH THE RUNWAY IN A NOSE FIRST ATTITUDE.
