Read the full NTSB narrative

THE ACFT COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND DURING A SIMULATED FORCED LANDING AND GO-AROUND. THE ACFT'S LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR WASSHEARED AND THE LEFT WING DRAGGED DURING GROUND CONTACT. THE CFI HAD GIVEN THE STUDENT A SIMULATED FORCED LANDING DURING THE APPROACH AND SINCE THE STUDENT WAS NOT MAKING THE INTENDED LANDING AREA A GO-AROUND WAS INITIATED. AS THE ACFT WAS CLIMBING THROUGH 1100 FT POWER WAS AGAIN CUT OFF FOR A LANDING. THE STUDENT DID NOT REACT PROMPTLY AND ACFT ENTERED AN EXCESSIVE RATE OF DESCENT WHICH WAS NOT CORRECTED BEFORE CONTACT EVEN THOUGH THE CFI HAD ORDERED A 2ND GO-AROUND.
