Analysis
The CFI reported that while flying in the flt school's designated practice area at 3800 ft MSL she reduced the throttle to idle for the purpose of simulating an in-flt emerg for her student. The student responded properly. The CFI stated she cleared the eng, while using carb heat, during the glide. When between 400 & 500 ft AGL, the CFI directed a go-around & the student plt responded with full throttle & carb heat to off. The eng continued to operate but no power above idle was obtained. Examination of the acft eng failed to reveal any reason for the power loss.
