Analysis
While performing practice engine out procedures the student plt positioned the acft for a simulated landing to a wheat field. At practice alt the eng was shut down to simulate eng out flt characteristics. The eng was re-started & left in idle position. At about 100 ft AGL the student plt added power, but the eng sputtered several times during the go-around. The CFI took control of the acft & began pumping the throttle but the engine did not respond. He pushed the throttle forward slowly & the eng quit. A landing was made in a wheat field & during the landing roll the acft nosed over inverted. The eng was later test run & no discrepancies were noted.
