Event Description
During a training flight, the flight instructor simulated a right alternator failure, an engine fire, a left engine failure on takeoff, and a right engine failure on takeoff before the accident sequence. The accident occurred during a simulated engine failure, initiated by shutting off the fuel supply. The student pilot diverted toward an airport for an emergency landing.
While on approach, the student noted that the landing gear lights indicating the landing gear was in the down position were not illuminated. The student informed the instructor, who advised initiating a go-around.
Go-Around and Loss of Control
As the student pilot advanced the throttles for the go-around, the aircraft lurched to the right. The student pilot raised the flaps, but aircraft performance continued to deteriorate. The student pilot stated that the aircraft speed was too slow to maintain directional control, so he lowered the nose. The aircraft subsequently impacted terrain in a nose-low, right wing-low attitude.
Post-Accident Inspection
The aircraft and both engines were inspected on-scene, and no mechanical malfunctions were noted.
