Read the full NTSB narrative

THE CFI AND HER STUDENT WERE PRACTICING LANDINGS ON RWY 10 WITH WINDS REPORTED AS 090 DEG AT 5 KTS. THE STUDENT WAS ON THE CONTROLS, FLARED TOO HIGH, AND THE ACFT BOUNCED AT TOUCHDOWN. THE CFI TOLD HIM TO ADD POWER TO RECOVER FROM THE BOUNCED LANDING. THE STUDENT ADDED FULL POWER AND ALLOWED THE NOSE OF THE ACFT TO RISE TOO HIGH. THE CFI TOOK THE CONTROLS AND LOWERED THE NOSE TO COMPENSATE. THE STUDENT THEN PULLED OFF ALL POWER AND THE ACFT LANDED HARD. THE CFI ANNOUNCED THAT SHE HAD THE CONTROLS BUT THE STUDENT STAYED ON THE RUDDER PEDALS. THE CFI WAS UNABLE TO OVERRIDE HIS INPUTS, AND THE AIRCRAFT SWERVED LEFT, DEPARTED THE RWY, AND AND STRUCK A PARKED CESSNA 210, DAMAGING BOTH AIRCRAFT.
