| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
During a local instructional flight, a simulated engine out landing was attempted. The flight instructor stated that on short final, an unsafe gear indication occurred. The instructor then stated that an attempt was made to abort the landing and the engine failed to develop takeoff power. The airplane landed and the right main landing gear collapsed. According to the FAA Inspector on-scene, after the gear collapsed the airplane slid down the runway and struck a runway marker light substantially damaging the right wing leading edge, flap, and aileron. Examination of the engine, landing gear, and the hydraulic system, found no discrepancies.
Probable Cause: The pilot's inability to control the aircraft after landing due to a loss of engine power and landing gear failure for undetermined reasons. A factor in the severity of the accident was the impact with the airport marker lights.
