Procedure; Weather
I was CFI during a BFR. Student; who is a private pilot; was the pilot flying (PF). Winds (5 miles away) were reported as 310@17G27. PF stated he was going to use flaps 20 and higher speed than normal for the approach and landing. The aircraft cleared the trees at the end of the runway; then the PF chopped the power and pitched the aircraft over towards the runway. Airspeed increased and when he flared the aircraft started floating down the runway. He finally touched down a little past 1/2 way down the runway with brakes applied. The aircraft was skidding. A few moments later a gust of wind lifted the right wing thus reducing braking. I looked ahead to consider a balked landing and saw power lines and a tree which I believed we would hit should a go-around be initiated. We finally went off the end of the runway; through a ditch; and came to stop on a road at the end of the runway. There was damage to the aircraft's nosewheel; prop; and left wing tip. Occupants were both unhurt.
C172 flight instructor reported the pilot flying the aircraft landed long and fast resulting in a excursion from the runway end and damage to the aircraft.
