AFTER THE CFI CUT POWER FOR A SIMULATED FORCED LANDING, THE STUDENT SET UP AN APPROACH TO A ROAD. WHEN POWER WAS ADDED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE APPROACH THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 75% POWER & THEN DECELERATED BACK TO IDLE. ON TOUCHDOWN ON THE ROAD THE LEFT MAIN WHEEL SEPARATED FROM THE SPRING TUBE. THE NOSE GEAR THEN FAILED IN OVERLOAD & THE ACFT NOSED OVER. INVESTIGATION REVEALED A FATIGUE FRACTURE ABOUT 120 DEG AROUND THE GEAR SPRING TUBE. THE FRACTURE ORIGINATED AT THE CROSS BOLT HOLE.
