Incident Overview
During a flight to his destination, a pilot decided to practice emergency engine-out procedures. According to his report, he began the procedure by pulling the mixture control, which resulted in a complete loss of engine power.
Attempted Landing
The pilot attempted to make an emergency landing on the runway. He stated that he did not return the mixture control to the rich position because the propeller had stopped spinning. Additionally, he did not attempt to restart the engine, citing that he was already committed to the landing.
Approach and Stall
The pilot reported that the airplane lacked sufficient airspeed and altitude to complete the turn from base to final. After clearing a road, the airplane stalled and impacted the runway.
Post-Impact Sequence
The airplane then bounced, struck a bean field adjacent to the runway, and came to rest inverted.
