Probable cause

The pilot's decision to continue the landing from an unstabilized approach which resulted in a loss of control and subsequent hard landing.

NTSB narrative

The pilot was flying the airplane from the right seat which he was not experienced in doing. He reported the approach was unstabilized, but he continued the landing resulting in a loss of control and subsequent hard landing. In addition, the pilot did not have access to the pitch trim control which was located on the left seat yoke which most likely contributed to the unstabilized approach.
