N757MY
CESSNA 182Q
A CIVIL AIR PATROL AIRPLANE LANDED HARD WHILE THE TWO QUALIFIED PILOTS WERE PRACTICING A SIMULATED FORCED LANDING IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKEOFF. THE PILOT, WHO WAS OPERATING THE CONTROLS, WAS CONSIDERED THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND (PIC) ON THIS FLIGHT, ALTHOUGH THE OTHER PILOT WAS AN INSTRUCTOR (CFI). SHORTLY AFTER LIFT-OFF, THE CFI REDUCED POWER TO SIMULATE A POWER LOSS. THE PIC LANDED ON THE REMAINING RWY, BUT THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN HARD, WHICH RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO THE AIRFRAME.
IMPROPER FLARE BY THE PILOT AND INADEQUATE SUPERVISION OF THE FLIGHT BY THE OTHER CREW MEMBER.
