## Narrative

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

DATE: 02/02/2018

LOCATION: KVGT

AIRCRAFT/TAIL#: BE-95/ NL28W

THE CFI WAS FLYING WITH A COMMERCIAL RATED PILOT LOOKING FOR A MULTI ENGINE ADD ON RATING. THEY HAD BEEN PRACTICING MANEUVERS FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO HOURS AND WERE INBOUND ON A SIMULATED ENGINE OUT ILS. THEY WERE INSTRUCTED BY NORTH LAS VEGAS TOWER TO CIRCLE LEFT DOWNWIND RUNWAY 30L WHICH THEY DID. THE RIGHT THROTTLE WAS SET TO 1200RPM TO SIMULATE A FEATHERED PROP AND THE STUDENT WAS USING THE LEFT THROTTLE ALONG WITH PITCH FOR SPEED AND ALTITUDE. THE CFI MONITORED ENGINE INSTRUMENTS, FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS, LANDING GEAR, AND GAS SETTINGS THE WHOLE TIME AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. AS THEY LINED UP ON BASE THE CFI NOTICED THEY WERE GETTING SLOW (90MPH) AND LOW (3 RED ON PAPI) SO THE CFI ADVISED THE STUDENT TO ADD POWER ON THE LEFT ENGINE AND BRING THE NOSE DOWN WHICH HE DID.

WHEN HE ADDED POWER TO THE LEFT THROTTLE NOTHING SEEMED TO HAPPEN AND THAT'S WHEN I SAID, "YOU HAVE BOTH THROTTLES, GO AROUND (WE WERE ROUGHLY 200 FEET AGL JUST BEFORE THE BLAST AREA RUNWAY 30L)." HE THEN APPLIED FULL THROTTLE ON BOTH ENGINES AND WE STARTED TO DRIFT TO THE LEFT AS WELL AS CONTINUE TO SINK. WITH NO ROOM FOR CORRECTION WE HIT LEFT WING FIRST AND SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES. THE STUDENTS HAND WAS ON BOTH THROTTLES AND THE CFI REACHED OVER TO CUT BOTH MIXTURES AS THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED OFF THE RUNWAY, TAKING OUT A TAXIWAY SIGN AND COMING TO STOP ON A TAXIWAY.  THE CFI RADIOED THE AIRPORT CONTROL TOWER TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND STARTED THE RIGHT ENGINE BUT COULD NOT START THE LEFT SO THEY SHUT DOWN THE RIGHT AND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE. THE NTSB AND FAA WAS NOTIFIED.
