Incident Summary
A training flight intended for a multi-engine instructor rating ended in a crash after an engine restart failure and a runway incursion. The instructor was teaching the student pilot an engine shutdown procedure. Following the shutdown, the engine would not restart. The instructor elected to land at the nearest airport.
Sequence of Events
While on final approach to the airport, another aircraft landed on the same runway and subsequently did not clear the runway when requested. The instructor then initiated a single-engine go-around with the landing gear extended. The aircraft was unable to gain sufficient altitude or airspeed. Control was lost, and the aircraft began to roll over. The left wing struck the ground first, followed by a cartwheel to the right. The aircraft came to rest 75 feet from the end of the runway.
Investigation Findings
FAA examination of the engine starter disclosed no mechanical failure. No other causal factors were identified in the source material.
