The airplane sustained substantial damage during a hard landing . The pilot stated, "On the last cross wind landing [using] runway [12] no flaps was holding 80 [knots]. Did a practice engine out on short final. The plane came to a stop when the power was pulled. Air speed was at 80 [knots] dropped to nothing, and then the plane [sunk] on to the runway." The flight instructor stated, "After reducing power I asked him if we were holding 75 [knots] ok and he said yes. Then all of a sudden the aircraft settled very fast and we hit hard and bounced and we were headed for the grass, the left side of the runway, I took the control wheel [and] kept us on the runway." Recorded wind at the airport was 060 degrees at 8 knots. The pilot and flight instructor reported no mechanical malfunctions associated with the flight.
