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 certified flt instructor (CFI) stated that he was giving multiengine instruction. All basic single and multi- engine maneuvers had been completed. The CFI reduced the pwr on one engine to simulate a single engine landing. The CFI stated that a normal approach had been flown and that on touchdown the aircraft landed 'a little long and fast, the left main gear touched and we began porpoising.' The CFI called for a go-around and the landing gear warning horn sounded. The CFI took control of the acft and attempted a go-around but the right prop struck the ground. He reduced the pwr and the acft skidded to a stop on the right side of the rwy.
