Incident Overview
The pilot reported conducting a simulated engine-out approach, initiating the maneuver abeam the runway numbers. He established a 500-foot-per-minute descent on the base leg and maintained it through the turn to final. The airplane was angled with the left wing slightly low toward the touchdown zone.
Sequence of Events
