THE PILOT WAS SIMULATING A FORCED LANDING TO AN ABANDONED GRASS STRIP. WHEN HE APPLIED POWER TO TERMINATE THE MANEUVER, HE 'PUSHED THE THROTTLE TO FULL POWER' BUT THE ENGINE FAILED TO RESPOND DUE TO CARBURETOR ICING. THE PILOT LANDED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STRIP FOR WHICH HE WAS LINED UP FOR HIS SIMULATED FORCED LANDING. THE EXISTING WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT WERE HIGHLY CONDUCIVE TO THE FORMATION OF CARBURETOR ICING.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S IMPROPER USE OF CARBURETOR HEAT RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO CARBURETOR ICE. THE CARBURETOR ICING CONDITIONS AND THE SOFT TERRAIN IN THE LANDING AREA WERE FACTORS.
