During an instructional flight the certified flight instructor (CFI) gave the student a simulating loss of engine power at an altitude of 3,500 feet, with the intent that a landing would be performed to the airport's runway. When rolling out of a right turn from base to final, at an altitude of 400 feet, and about 1/4 of a mile from the runway, the airplane stalled, impacting with an embankment.
