    The accident occurred at the Butler Co Airport Butler, PA, United States while on appoach. The damage was substantial. The instructor pilot was flying with the owner of the aircraft to help him get acquainted with his plane. While on final approach, the owner let the aircraft get low. He corrected by adding power, but reportedly raised the nose beyond the stall angle. The aircraft stalled and during recover, it contacted the ground with enough force to damage the plane...
