Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PLT-IN-COMAND (PIC) & THE DESIGNATED FLT EXAMINER (FE) WERE ON A FLT TO GIVE THE PIC A COMMERCIAL PLT FLT EXAM. DURING A SIMULATED FORCED LANDING APCH, THE PIC SPIRALED THE ACFT DOWN TO THE PROPOSED LANDING SPOT. THE PROPER CHECK LIST PROCEDURES WERE ACCOMPLISHED & THE ENG WAS CLEARED SEVERAL TIMES. AS THE ACFT CROSSED OVER THE END OF THE FIELD, THE FE INSTRUCTED THE PIC TO GO AROUND. THE PIC APPLIED POWER & PUT THE CARB HEAT IN THE COLD POSITION, BUT STARTED A LOW SPEED TURN WITH THE FLAPS FULLY EXTENDED. THE FE LEVELED THE WINGS & TOLD THE PIC TO GO AROUND AS HE WAS TRAINED. FINALLY, THE FE TOLD THE PIC TO RETRACT THE FLAPS & THE PIC RAISED THEM TO THE 20 DEG POSITION. SUBSQUENTLY, THE ACFT HIT THE TOP OF A TREE, WHICH NEITHER PLT SAW, THEN LOST AIRSPEED & SETTLED INTO LOWER TREES & CRASHED. THE FE NOTED THAT HE SHOULD HAVE ABIDED BY THE MIN ALTITUDE THAT HE HAD ESTABLISHED FOR HIMSELF.
