A CFI was giving a private pilot a biennial flight review. The private pilot demonstrated a short field takeoff, and while climbing through 500 feet agl, the flight instructor simulated an engine failure. According to the private pilot, he accomplished the restart procedures and at completion of the maneuver he went to advance the throttle; however, realized that the throttle was already at the full power position (full in), and that the mixture control was retarded. (The CFI stated that he retarded the throttle control to the idle position when he simulated the engine failure.) The private pilot then advanced the mixture control and the engine lost total power. The private pilot attempted to restart the engine; however, was unsuccessful. A forced landing was executed to a field 3/4 mile from the departure airport, during which the airplane contacted power lines, and subsequently, the airplane impacted the ground.
Probable Cause: The loss of engine power for an undetermined reason.
