Read the full NTSB narrative

THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR REPORTED THAT THE PRE-SOLO STUDENT PILOT'S FINAL APPROACH TO THE RUNWAY APPEARED NORMAL UNTIL THE AIRPLANE WAS ABOUT FIVE TO TEN FEET ABOVE THE RUNWAY. AT THE POINT WHERE THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR EXPECTED THE STUDENT TO PULL BACK ON THE YOKE TO INITIATE A LANDING FLARE, THE STUDENT PUSHED THE YOKE FORWARD. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WAS NOT ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE, AND THE AIRPLANE IMPACTED THE RUNWAY ON THE NOSE WHEEL. THE NOSE WHEEL WAS BROKEN OFF.
