The pilot reported that upon returning to the airfield, he announced that he was going to accomplish a simulated loss of power descent from 3,000 feet. The pilot was spiraling to the left while keeping his touchdown point in view. The airspeed was approximately 75-80 mph with a descent rate of 800-900 feet per minute. The pilot reported that when he came around on his last turn, he attempted to arrest the turn to land down the runway, however, the airplane did not respond as anticipated to his inputs. The pilot neutralized the ailerons and used full right rudder. Before he was able to arrest the turn, the aircraft collided with the terrain in a nose low attitude. The pilot reported no mechanical failures or malfunctions with the aircraft at the time of the accident.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control during a simulated emergency descent. Inadequate remedial action was a factor.
