THE FLT INSTRUCTOR (CFI) INITIATED A SIMULATED FORCED LANDING AT ABOUT 500 FT AGL AS THE ACFT WAS CLIMBING DURING TAKEOFF AT NIGHT. THE STUDENT ELECTED TO TURN DOWNWIND FOR A LANDING ON THE DEPARTURE RWY. WHEN THE CFI DETERMINED THAT THE STUDENT WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REACH THE RWY, HE INCREASED THE THROTTLE TO 1500 RPM & INSTRUCTED THE STUDENT TO PERFORM NORMAL FULL FLAP LANDING. REPORTEDLY, THE STUDENT BECAME ARGUMENTIVE ABOUT HIS JUDGEMENT & ABILITY CONCERNING THE SIMULATED FORCED LANDING. THE STUDENT OVERSHOT THE BASE TO FINAL TURN & THE CFI INSTRUCTED HIM TO GO AROUND. REPORTEDLY, THE STUDENT 'SHOVED' THE THROTTLE FULL OPEN & RAISED THE FLAPS, & AT THE SAME INSTANT, THE ENG STALLED & THE CFI TOOK THE CONTROLS. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT HIT THE GROUND IN A 3-POINT ATTITUDE, APRX 160 FT SHORT OF THE RWY, & THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED.
