Read the full NTSB narrative

THE INSTRUCTOR PILOT WAS INSTRUCTING HIS STUDENT PILOT IN AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN FOR A MULTI-ENGINE INSTRUCTOR RATING, AFTER WHICH THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. THE INSTRUCTOR DECIDED TO LAND AT THE CLOSEST AIRPORT. WHILE ON FINAL APPROACH ANOTHER AIRCRAFT LANDED ON THE RUNWAY AND DID NOT CLEAR THE RUNWAY WHEN ASKED TO DO SO. THE INSTRUCTOR ATTEMPTED A SINGLE ENGINE GO-AROUND WITH GEAR DOWN, BUT COULD NOT GAIN ENOUGH ALTITUDE OR AIRSPEED. THE INSTRUCTOR LOST CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT, WHICH STARTED TO ROLL OVER HITTING THE LEFT WING FIRST AND THEN CARTWHEELING TO THE RIGHT. THE AIRCRAFT LANDED 75 FEET FROM THE END OF THE RUNWAY. FAA EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE STARTER DISCLOSED NO MECHANICAL FAILURE.
