THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR REPORTED THAT HIS STUDENT WAS PERFORMING A PRACTICE SINGLE-ENGINE ILS APPROACH TO RUNWAY 26 WITH THE RIGHT ENGINE SET AT ZERO THRUST. THE AIRCRAFT WAS HIGH AND HAD DRIFTED OVER THE RIGHT EDGE OF THE RUNWAY WHEN THE INSTRUCTOR COMMANDED THE STUDENT TO GO-AROUND. ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTOR, THE STUDENT BROUGHT UP BOTH THROTTLES; HOWEVER, THE RIGHT ENGINE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE AIRCRAFT YAWED AND ROLLED TO THE RIGHT, THE RIGHT WING TIP STRUCK THE GROUND, AND THE AIRCRAFT CARTWHEELED TO A STOP. THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS REMOVED FROM THE AIRCRAFT AND EXAMINED BY A FAA CERTIFIED AIRFRAME AND POWER PLANT MECHANIC. NO DISCREPANCIES WERE NOTED DURING THE EXAMINATION.
Probable Cause: THE RIGHT ENGINE'S FAILURE FOR UNDETERMINED REASONS TO RESPOND TO THROTTLE COMMAND DURING A GO-AROUND ATTEMPT, AND BOTH PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT. INADEQUATE SUPERVISION OF THE FLIGHT BY THE CFI IS ALSO CONSIDERED A CAUSE.
