Read the full NTSB narrative

WHILE PERFORMING A PRACTICE EMERGENCY LANDING THE PILOT STATED THAT HE APPLIED FULL POWER WHEN THE AIRCRAFT HAD DESCENDED TO ABOUT 10 FEET ABOVE A PLOWED FIELD. AFTER POWER WAS APPLIED THE FLAPS WERE RAISED FROM FULL DOWN TO 20 DEGREES. THE SECOND PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT GOT TOO LOW AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CLEAR THE TREES, MADE A STEEP TURN TO THE LEFT, STALLED, AND CAME DOWN ON THE LEFT WING.
