THE INSTRUCTOR IS AT PRESENT RECOVERING FROM HIS INJURIES AND IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A STATEMENT. THE STUDENT STATED HE HAD BEEN CONDUCTING A (SIMULATED) SINGLE-ENGINE, FLAPS 25-DEG APROACH TO RUNWAY 05 AT KDED. THE 1453 EDT AUTOMATED WEATHER OBSERVATION RECORDED WINDS OF 050 DEGREES AT 11 KNOTS, TEMPERATURE 31 DEGREES C, ALTIMETER 30.07 INCHES. THE AIRSPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH TOO SLOW ON FINAL, AND AT APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET AGL (179 FT MSL), NEAR THE RUNWAY THRESHOLD, THE INSTRUCTOR CALLED FOR A GO-AROUND. A GO-AROUND FROM A SIMULATED SINGLE-ENGINE APPROACH HAD NOT BEEN BRIEFED. THE STUDENT ADDED FULL THROTTLE WITHIN 1.5 SECONDS, BUT ONLY THE LEFT ENGINE RESPONDED. THE STUDENT SAID THE AIRCRAF       T SEEMED TO CLIMB INITIALLY, BUT ALSO VEERED RIGHT UNINTENTIONALLY. THE INSTRUCTOR IMMEDIATELY TOOK OVER AND RETRACTED GEAR AND FLAPS. THE STUDENT OBSERVED THE INSTRUCTOR STRUGGLING WITH THE THROTTLES AND YOKE TO REGAIN HEADING. HE WAS ABLE TO REVERSE THE UNCOMMANDED RIGHT BANK AND REGAIN SOME DIRECTIONAL CONTROL NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF THE TWO MAIN RUNWAYS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO CLIMB, AND BY NOW WAS IN A STEEP DESCENT. THE SENECA IMPACTED GRASS IN A NEARLY FLAT ATTITUDE, WITH GEAR AND FLAPS RETRACTED. IT SKIDDED 183 FEET, APPROXIMATELY PARALLEL TO RUNWAY 05, COMING TO A STOP NEXT TO THE BLAST PAD AREA AT THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY. WITNESSES INCLUDE THE CHIEF INSTRUCTOR OF A PART 141 PILOT SCHOOL BASED AT KDED, WHO REGULARLY FLIES THE SAME MODEL OF AIRCRAFT. THIS WITNESS REPORTED A SEQUENCE OF EVENTS CORROBORATING THE ABOVE ACCOUNT. THE STUDENT EGRESSED UNDER HIS OWN POWER THROUGH THE MAIN COCKPIT DOOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE. EMS PERSONNEL WERE REQUIRED TO EXTRACT THE INSTRUCTOR.
