Narrative: pilot stated: we approached X21 and simulated an engine failure. A normal approach was accomplished, the right seat pilot flared high and we developed a high sink rate, due to the position above the runway the acft settled back to the run way and began the rollout I was critiquing the approach and landing appr. 5 seconds, the nose dropped to the ground as we skidded, I realized the nose gear had collapsed. Mr. Copenhauer and I had checked the gear in the down and locked position and we had a gear down and locked indication in the cockpit.
