Circumstances:
The crew was completing a local training flight at Londrina Airport. The touchdown was hard and the airplane struck the runway surface quite hardly and bounced several times before landing properly. After landing, the airplane stopped on runway and was later considered as damaged beyond repair due to structural damages.
Probable cause:
Wrong approach configuration on part of the pilot-in-command who was under training at the time of the accident. Poor supervision on part of the instructor.
