Analysis
During a practice emergency landing approach, the instructor told the student to go around at an altitude of about 600 feet AGL. The student failed to add power and pulled the yoke all the way back. The aircraft then stalled. The instructor took control, lowered the nose and added power, but during the pull-out, the left wing struck corn in a field, then spun around & struck the ground.
