## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, THE STUDENT PILOT WAS DESCENDING FROM 1000FT, WITH POWER REDUCED TO SIMULATE ENGINE FAILURE. AT 300FT POWER WAS ADDED WITH NO ENGINE RESPONSE. THE INSTRUCTOR TOOK OVER THE CONTROLS AND LAND IN A WHEAT FIELD. THE LANDING GEAR SANK INTO THE TERRAIN BRINGING THE AIRCRAFT TO AN ABRUPT STOP, CAUSING THE AIRCRAFT TO ROTATE OVER THE NOSE AND CAME TO REST UPSIDE DOWN.
