ENG PWR LOSS OCCURRED WHEN THE INSTRUMENT STUDENT ADVANCED THE THROTTLE TO DO A GO-AROUND WHEN THE ACFT WAS TOO HIGH TO LND ON RWY 5 FOLLOWING A SIMULATED INSTRMT APCH. THE INSTR TOOK CONTROL OF THE ACFT AND ABOUT HALF-WAY DOWN THE RWY, AT ABOUT 300 FT AGL, DID A LEFT TURN TO LAND NEXT TO RWY 31. THE ACFT LANDED HARD AND COLLAPSED THE LNDG GEAR. THE ENG EXAM DID NOT DISCLOSE EVIDENCE OF MALFUNCTION. THE ACFT HAD MADE A LONG APPROACH AT LOW POWER SETTING PRIOR TO THE SUDDEN APPLICATION OF POWER.
