Accident
The student was performing a dual practice forced landing on to an airfield. Strong winds and gusty conditions prevailed. It was the instructor's intention to allow the student to continue the practice forced landing to a low height for realism. The student forgot to lower the landing gear and the instructor missed the oversight. On short final the aircraft encountered windshear. The instructor was late in nominating the go-around. The aircraft struck the ground wheels up.
