## Narrative

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

N669CS DEPARTED KDEC (DECATUR AIRPORT) ON A RETURN TRAINING FLIGHT TO KTAZ (TAYLORVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT).  THE LAST APPROACH TO KTAZ WAS INITIATED FROM THE NORTH EAST FOLLOWING AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND SECURE MANEUVER.  AT THIS TIME THE LEFT ENGINE WAS NOT OPERATING AND FEATHERED.  AS THE APPROACH CONTINUED, THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT ON BOARD ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE LEFT ENGINE.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS EQUIPPED WITH A GARMIN G1000 THAT WAS CAPABLE OF DATA LOGGING.  BASED ON THIS DATA COLLECTED DURING THE INVESTIGATION, THE ENGINE DID NOT RESTART AND BEGAN TO WINDMILL.  AS THE APPROACH PROGRESSED INTO THE LANDING PHASE, THE AIRCRAFT DESCENDED TO AN ALTITUDE OF APPROXIMATELY 36 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND.  THE INSTRUCTOR ADDED FULL THROTTLE AT THIS POINT TO INITIATE A GO-AROUND MANEUVER.  IT IS UNCLEAR EXACTLY WHY THE GO-AROUND WAS COMMANDED, BUT THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT STATED THAT HE BELIEVED THAT APPROACH WAS POORLY EXECUTED.  THE AIRCRAFT THEN MADE AN ABRUPT LEFT TURN INDICATIVE OF A VMC LOSS OF CONTROL CONDITION.  THE INSTRUCTOR THEN RETRACTED THE FLAPS AND INSTRUCTED THE STUDENT TO RETRACT THE LANDING GEAR, BOTH WERE ACCOMPLISHED.  BASED ON THE CONDITIONS AT THE TIME, THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT ELECTED TO FLY UNDER A POWER LINE AND PERFORM A FORCED, GEAR-UP LANDING IN A NEARBY FIELD.
