Event Details
The pilot of an airplane was en route to his home airport when he decided to practice a simulated forced landing over a wheat field. According to the pilot, he reduced engine power and applied carburetor heat as part of the procedure. He descended the airplane to an altitude where the wheels were just above the wheat field's surface, then attempted a go-around by adding power.
During the go-around, the pilot reported that he misjudged his altitude, resulting in the wheels contacting the top of the wheat. The airplane subsequently decelerated, sank into the wheat, and came to rest inverted. The pilot stated that there were no issues with the engine when he added power for the go-around.
Pilot Report
The pilot explicitly noted that the engine functioned normally throughout the maneuver. The accident occurred without any mention of injuries or damage beyond the inverted position of the aircraft. No specific aircraft type, registration, date, location, or number of occupants were provided in the source material.
