THE INSTRUCTOR (CFI) WAS PREPARING HIS STUDENT FOR A MULTIENGINE, PRIVATE PLT, FLT TEST. THE PURPOSE OF THE LESSON WAS TO DEMONSTRATE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING FOLLOWING A SIMULATED LOSS OF POWER AFTER TAKEOFF. AT AN ALT OF ABOUT 100 FT AGL, THE CFI RETARDED THE LEFT ENG TO IDLE. HE THEN INITIATED A LANDING, STRAIGHT AHEAD ON THE REMAINING RWY. HE REDUCED THE ANGLE-OF-ATTACK & EXTENDED FULL FLAPS. (THE GEAR HAD NOT BEEN RETRACTED, SO IT WAS ALREADY EXTENDED.) DURING THE LANDING, A HI RATE OF DESCENT DEVELOPED & WAS NOT ARRESTED BEFORE TOUCHDOWN. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT LANDED HARD & WAS DAMAGED.
