Incident Summary
A flight instructor with 1,750 hours of flight experience and a student pilot with 80 hours were conducting a simulated engine-out emergency landing during a training flight. The airplane landed hard in a field and collided with trees. The instructor reported that after the hard landing, he initiated a go-around and informed the student pilot multiple times that he had control of the aircraft. The student pilot did not immediately remove her hands from the controls. Subsequently, the airplane pitched up and rolled to the left before impacting the ground and colliding with trees.
Instructor's Account
The instructor stated that he began the go-around procedure and verbally announced his assumption of control several times. Despite these communications, the student pilot delayed releasing her grip on the flight controls. This delay was followed by the airplane pitching upward and banking left, culminating in a secondary impact with the ground and trees. The instructor's account serves as the primary source of information for this event.
Training Context
The training exercise involved simulating an engine failure, requiring the pilot to execute an emergency landing. The hard landing and subsequent go-around attempt occurred during this scenario. The instructor and student pilot were the only occupants of the aircraft. No further details regarding the aircraft type, location, or time were provided in the source.
