Read the full NTSB narrative

FULL FLAP X-WIND TAKE OFF & LANDINGS WERE BEING CONDUCTED ON RWY 13 WITH THE WINDS AT 210 TO 220 DEGS AT 10 KTS, OR A RIGHT X-WIND COMPONENT OF 80 TO 90 DEGS. THE STUDENT PLT PERMITTED THE ACFT TO GET TOO SLOW WHILE ABOUT 10 FT ABOVE THE GROUND. A HIGH SINK RATE DEVELOPED, A HARD LDG WAS MADE & THE ACFT BOUNCED BACK INTO THE AIR. THE STUDENT APPLIED FULL POWER & CAUGHT THE INSTRUCTOR 'BY SURPRISE'. 15 FT ABOVE THE GROUND WITH NO FLT SPEED, THE INSTRUCTOR PUSHED THE NOSE DOWN BUT THE X-WIND BLEW THE ACFT INTO THE GRASS CATCHING THE LEFT WING & NOSE. THE OPERATING HANDBOOK FOR THE ACFT STATES THAT WHEN LDG IN A STRONG X-WIND, 'USE MINIMUM FLAP SETTING REQUIRED FOR THE FIELD LENGTH'. RWY 13 IS 5000 LONG.
