What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Insurance required recurrent training was being provided. Normal takeoff, with the exception that the landing gear was never retracted (they should have been), climb runway heading to 1200' AGL where the instructor simulated an engine out. Prop was feathered by the instructor, and the student initiated a 45 degree bank and a 210 degree left turn back to the departure runway maintaining 90 knots. They were on about a 30 degree angle to the runway center line and over the numbers at about 30 to 40 feet AGL when the instructor took control and initiated a go-around. The power lever was advanced and no increase in thrust was recognized, the airplane quit flying and the right landing gear struck the runway tearing it from the aircraft. The aircraft spun to the right and came to rest in the grass to the left of the runway with the engine still running.
