The flight instructor stated that he had given the student a simulated engine-out emergency. The student completed the emergency procedure, and had initiated a climb from the low approach when the engine failed to develop power. A 1700-foot long airstrip was selected for the emergency landing. The airplane went off the departure end of the west runway and collided with the ground. During the postaccident examination, the engine was functionally checked. The engine started and operated normally without difficulty. No mechanical problems were noted during the wreckage examination. The review of weather date disclosed that conditions were favorable for the formation of carburetor ice. The flight instructor reported using the carburetor heat. During a subsequent conversation, he stated that the engine was not cleared for more than 2 minutes during the descent for the simulated emergency.
Probable Cause: the pilot's improper operation of the powerplant controls.
