FLT REVIEW SIMULATED EMER BECOMES TRUE EMER AS ENG FAILS. LANDED ON GRASS STRIP.

Narrative

WHILE FLYING MY BIANNUAL FLT REVIEW THE INSTRUCTOR CONDUCTING THE REVIEW PULLED THE MIXTURE RATHER THAN THE THROTTLE TO SIMULATE AN ENG OUT EMER. THIS CAUSED THE ENG TO STOP DUE TO FUEL STARVATION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART THE ENG INFLT SO THE ACFT WAS LANDED WITHOUT PWR ON A MOWED FIELD BENEATH THE LOCATION OF THE INCIDENT. THE LNDG WAS NORMAL AND NO DAMAGE OR INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE FIELD APPEARED TO BE AN UNCHARTED GRASS STRIP WITH NO ACFT OR HOUSES ADJOINING IT. AFTER IT BECAME APPARENT AN OFF-ARPT LNDG WOULD BE REQUIRED; A 7700 SQUAWK CODE WAS XMITTED AND A XMISSION ON 121.5 WAS MADE ANNOUNCING OUR POS AND SITUATION -- NO REPLY WAS HEARD TO THE RADIO CALL. I'M ALSO UNCERTAIN IF OUR EMER SQUAWK WAS PAINTED ON RADAR DUE TO THE ALT AND POS OF THE INCIDENT. AFTER LNDG; A TELEPHONE CALL WAS MADE TO LANSING FSS TO ADVISE THEM NO EMER EXISTED AND ALL WAS OK. AFTER THE TELEPHONE CALL; THE ACFT WAS RESTARTED AND FLOWN BACK TO THE HOME BASE ARPT (3HE). CFI TRAINING SHOULD STRESS THE MIXTURE SHOULD NEVER BE PULLED TO SIMULATE EMER PROCS. IN THIS CASE IT CREATED AN EMER FROM A NORMAL SITUATION. I WAS FORTUNATE TO NOT ONLY HAVE A SUITABLE PLACE TO LAND SAFELY BUT TO ALSO EXECUTE THE LNDG WITHOUT ERROR. HAD EITHER OF THOSE FACTORS WORKED AGAINST ME; IT WOULD HAVE CREATED AN ACCIDENT.
