Event Summary
A training flight involving a simulated engine failure resulted in a loss of control and ground impact. The exercise was conducted by a flight instructor and a student pilot.
Initial Conditions
The flight instructor initiated a simulated engine failure while the airplane was at 3,500 feet above mean sea level.
Sequence of Events
The student pilot carried out the standard emergency procedures for the simulated failure. Upon reaching the final approach leg of the landing pattern, the airplane was at an altitude too high to complete a normal landing on the runway. At this point, the flight instructor took control of the airplane. The instructor planned to execute an additional 360-degree turn to lose altitude before landing.
As the airplane entered the bank for the turn, it entered an aerodynamic stall. The flight instructor responded by applying full engine power in an attempt to recover from the stall. However, the airplane was unable to return to level flight prior to impacting the ground.
Outcome
The accident sequence concluded with the airplane striking the ground. The source does not specify injuries, damage, or other outcomes.
