Flight Purpose
The flight was conducted for multiengine instruction. The student pilot was executing a simulated right engine-out instrument landing system (ILS) approach to Runway 26.
Wind Conditions
The wind was reported as from 360 degrees at 19 knots, with gusts to 24 knots. This resulted in a right crosswind component for the approach.
Approach and Control Inputs
During the approach, the student and instructor attempted to correct for the crosswind using full left aileron and rudder deflection. Despite these inputs, the airplane continued to drift off the centerline as it crossed the middle marker.
Go-Around Attempt
A go-around was initiated with full power applied to both engines. However, airspeed decayed and the pilots were unable to maintain directional control or altitude control.
Aircraft Limitations
The Pilot Operating Handbook (POH) for the Beech 55 states that the demonstrated crosswind limitation with both engines operating is 22 knots. The reported wind included gusts up to 24 knots, exceeding that limitation.
Summary
The aircraft drifted off the approach centerline despite full control deflection, and the subsequent go-around with both engines failed to maintain control or airspeed.
