Requalification of rated pilot due to long layoff in flying. About 30 minutes into training sortie, IP pulled throttle to ide and said," Simulated flame out landing." Aircraft was about 40 miles north of MTC. A successful high key was achieved over north end of field. Runway had been changed from 18 to 36 so an adjusted low key was established for approach to rwy 36. Low key was slightly below optimal altitude. On base key, it became obvious to IP that approach was going to be short. Throttle advanced by IP but engine acceleration was too slow to be effective. Aircraft stalled in overrun, short of runway. Landing gear sheared on lip of runway taking out approach lights. Tip tanks ruptured but no fire occurred. Aircraft slid to a stop on the runway and both pilot and IP emergency exited the aircraft.
