Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The CFI simulated an engine failure during flt at about 1000 ft AGL. When throttle was advanced the engine did not respond. The CFI made a forced landing in a plowed field and the acft nosed over in the soft furrowed dirt. An exam revealed no eng problems, except the #1 cylinder had low compression due to frozen rings & the spark plugs had indications of buring oil.
