HIS INTENT WAS TO HAVE HIS STUDENT PRACTICE A SIMULATED FORCED LDG. THE ENGINE COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND THE STUDENT ESTABLISHED A GLIDE AND WENT THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CHECKLIST. THE STUDENT REPORTED THAT HE SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND THE FUEL SELECTOR IN THE OFF POSITION AS HE WENT THROUGH THE CHECKLIST. THE SELECTOR WAS TURNED BACK ON, AND UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. EXAMINATION OF THE WRECKAGE REVEALED NO EVIDENCE OF ANY PREIMPACT MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION/ FAILURE. THE FAA FLIGHT TRAINING HANDBOOK (AC61-21A) INDICATES THAT A SIMULATED POWER LOSS SHOULD BE INITIATED BY RETARDING THE ENGINE THROTTLE.
