The DA 42 airplane crew consisting of the instructor-pilot and student-pilot took off in order to perform training flights as part of MEP(L) training on the route from EPBC to EPMO. As part of the exercise, 9 take-offs and landings were performed uneventfully. After the 9th landing, the crew stopped the plane on the runway and, after a short break, made another take-off. During the climb, at an altitude of approximately 500 ft, the instructor-pilot reduced the power of both engines to idle, simulating a powerplant failure. In order to maintain the airspeed, the crew started descending with the intention of straight-in landing. The descent was performed with a significant nose down pitch, which caused the touchdown at high speed. The airplane was substantially damaged.
Cause of the occurrence:
1) Both engines failure simulated just after take-off in the climb phase, which was inconsistent with the Exercise No 6 of the training program.
2) Insufficient flight altitude during initiation of the powerplant failure simulation during climb phase.
Contributing factors:
Incorrect estimation of the flight altitude prior to the powerplant failure simulation during climb phase.
