Introduction
A training flight involving a certified flight instructor (CFI) and a dual student encountered a series of events that ultimately resulted in a forced landing on a street. The aircraft came to rest after striking a sign and a pickup truck.
Sequence of Events
The CFI initiated a simulated engine failure by turning off the right engine fuel selector during the initial climb-out from the airport. In response, the dual student executed the engine-out emergency checklist, which included feathering the right engine propeller. The aircraft was not equipped with an unfeathering propeller system.
Following the emergency procedures, the CFI directed the dual student to re-enter the right traffic pattern. During the approach, the student overshot the final approach course. At that moment, the CFI observed that the left main landing gear down light was not illuminated. The CFI then assumed control of the aircraft and initiated a single-engine go-around.
The aircraft failed to climb during the go-around, prompting the CFI to choose to land on a street. Upon landing, the aircraft collided with a sign and a pickup truck before coming to rest.
Conclusion
The incident occurred during a training scenario that simulated an engine failure. The aircraft, which lacked an unfeathering system, encountered difficulties during a go-around attempt, leading to an off-airport landing. The final disposition of the aircraft involved collisions with objects on the ground.
