Narrative:While on the final approach leg of a simulated forced landing, the airspeed began to decrease to 70 mph, and the pilot added power. About 1/4-mile short of the runway, the airspeed decreased to 60 mph, "presumably because of loss of 10 knot headwind," and the airplane stalled. The airplane descended into a grass field short of the runway, and came to rest upright. The winds recorded at a nearby airport, about the time of the accident, were from 040 degrees at 5 knots.
Probable Cause: The pilot's failure to maintain airspeed, resulting in an inadvertent stall.
