Incident Overview
A pilot flying a Cessna 310 arrived in the Denver area and penetrated 15 miles into the Terminal Control Area (TCA) before being radar identified. The approach controller instructed the pilot to contact the tower by telephone after landing. After switching to the tower frequency, the pilot modified a right base approach to Runway 8L into a downwind leg due to departing traffic.
Approach and Engine Failure
The pilot notified the tower of a right engine failure. Although cleared to land on Runway 8L, the pilot instead made a final approach to Runway 8R. While in position to land on Runway 8R, an aircraft on the runway volunteered to clear the runway but was told not to by the local controller. After the Cessna 310 cleared the aircraft on the runway, at about 400 feet above the runway, the right engine feathered with the landing gear down. Approximately 8,000 feet of runway remained.
Go-Around and Stall
The supervisor controller suggested that the pilot make a right turn and come back around again, to which the pilot complied. After completing three-quarters of this single-engine go-around into the dead engine, the pilot was asked to extend the landing gear, at which time the aircraft stalled. Neither controller was pilot-rated. At no time prior to the go-around were all runways, taxiways, or grass areas made available to the pilot.
