Probable cause
The instructor pilot's delayed remedial action, improper configuration, and inadvertent stall.
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 instructor pilot attempted to demonstrate a loss of power on one engine during takeoff after liftoff. He retarded one throttle to simulate an engine failure upon reaching an altitude of 150 feet above the runway. The landing gear remained in the down position. The operating engine was then reduced for landing. During the flare, he noted the flaps were not down and power was added. The airplane stalled and a hard landing resulted.
