Incident Overview
A training flight involving an instructor pilot and a student was marred by a hard landing following a simulated engine failure demonstration. The instructor attempted to demonstrate a loss of power on one engine during the takeoff phase after liftoff.
Sequence of Events
After the aircraft became airborne, the instructor retarded one throttle to simulate an engine failure upon reaching an altitude of 150 feet above the runway. The landing gear remained in the down position throughout the maneuver. Subsequently, the operating engine was reduced for landing.
During the flare, the instructor observed that the flaps were not extended. Power was then added to the operating engine. However, the airplane stalled and a hard landing resulted.
Conclusion
The incident occurred during a training exercise aimed at demonstrating engine failure procedures. No further details regarding the aircraft type, registration, operator, or personnel injuries are available from the source.
