What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
The pilot was conducting a training flight with a student. The student pilot was instructed to decended to 6000 ft to begin a power-off approach to attempt a simulated landing to runway 27 @4400 MSL. As he approached the runway, he could see that he was going to be high, so he informed the student to go around. The student added full power. Approximately 30 seconds into the power application, the engine began shaking violently and lost partial power. The student asked the instructor to take the controls. The instructor began a shallow left turn to head the aircraft into the wind. He then turned on the boost pump but there was no change. The instructor then checked the fuel selector. The aircraft engine would not respond and the pilot decided to land the aircraft short of AZ09 rather than attempting to make it to runway 27. The landing was rough, due to the terrain. The student extended full flaps and the aircraft came to rest after traveling approximiatly 1500 ft. both the crew and aircraft were un-injured and the aircraft did not sustain any damage.
