THE CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR (CFI) WAS CONDUCTING A BIENNIAL FLIGHT REVIEW OF A COMMERCIAL PILOT. HE ELECTED TO HAVE THE COMMERCIAL PILOT PERFORM A SIMULATED EMERGENCY LANDING TO A NEARBY PRIVATE TURF AIRSTRIP. DURING THE APPROACH, THE CFI DETERMINED THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS TOO HIGH FOR THE FIELD. HE TOOK THE CONTROLS ON FINAL APPROACH TO COMPLETE THE LANDING. HE MISJUDGED THE TOUCHDOWN POINT AND LANDED IN A WHEAT FIELD SHORT OF THE RUNWAY. THE CFI REPORTED NO MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRPLANE PRIOR TO THE LANDING. POST CRASH INSPECTION AND AN ENGINE TEST RUN REVEALED NO MECHANICAL ANOMALIES.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT IN COMMAND'S MISJUDGMENT OF THE PROPER TOUCHDOWN POINT. AN ASSOCIATED FACTOR IS THE PILOT-IN-COMMAND NOT PERFORMING REMEDIAL ACTION.
