While simulating a loss of engine power for a third time, the airplane was landed with an approximate 10 knot tailwind, 1/2 way down the 3,000 foot grass runway with full flaps. After touchdown, the student reset the flaps and applied full power for a go-around without delay. During the climb out, the left wing collided with an unmarked phone line about 25 feet above ground level. The right wing of the airplane then collided with a tree which separated about 8-10 feet of that wing. The airplane then descended and impacted the ground coming to rest about 135 feet from the tree impact point. The certified flight instructor stated that there was no engine, airframe, or system failure or malfunction. He also stated that he did not notice the unmarked phone line during that flight or during the previous 8-10 times he flew to that airstrip, but he did notice the trees during the climb just prior to the phone line contact. The flaps were determined to be extended approximately 5 degrees and no failure or malfunction of the flap system was noted.
Probable Cause: The dual's student failure to maintain adequate altitude/clearance from the wire during takeoff/initial climb. Also causal was the certified flight instructor's inadequate supervision.
