THE STUDENT WAS PERFORMING A PRACTICE APPROACH TO AN EMERGENCY LANDING ON A FROZEN, SNOW COVERED LAKE. AFTER HE HAD FLOWN TO AN ALTITUDE LOW OVER THE LAKE THE INSTRUCTOR TOOK OVER THE CONTROLS. AT THIS POINT THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK A RIDGE OF SNOW AND CAME TO A STOP ON THE LAKE. THE INSTRUCTOR STATED THAT HE SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT SOONER. HE ALSO STATED THAT HAD THE APPROACH BEEN FLOWN CLOSER TO THE EDGE OF THE LAKE, HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO JUDGE HIS HEIGHT ABOVE THE SNOW BETTER.
