The instructor was accompanied by a private pilot and the intention was to complete a type conversion onto the aircraft. During a touch and go landing on runway 07, the private pilot applied too much back pressure on the control column which resulted in the aircraft ballooning. The aircraft's airspeed had decayed significantly which resulted in the aircraft stalling. The aircraft began to yaw to the right of runway 07. The instructor immediately assumed control of the aircraft in an attempt to recover the aircraft but was unable to maintain directional control of the aircraft. The instructor reduced the power on both engines to idle and the aircraft crash landed to the right of runway 07, before coming to rest 90 meters from the initial impact point. The pilots evacuated the aircraft without any injury. The aircraft sustained substantial damage during the accident sequence. Probable Cause The aircraft's airspeed was allowed to decay during a balloon landing recovery, which resulted in a stall and subsequent loss of directional control. Contributory Factor Poor technique
