AT THE COMPLETION OF A PERIOD OF INSTRUMENT TRAINING AND WHILE RETURNING TO THE AIRPORT OF ORIGIN THE CFI ASKED THE PRIVATE RATED DUAL STUDENT TO DEMONSTRATE A SIMULATED FORCED LANDING TO THE RUNWAY. IN AN ATTEMPT TO LOSE ALTITUDE ON THE FINAL APPROACH THE DUAL STUDENT ALLOWED THE AIRSPEED TO DECAY DURING A SLIPPING MANEUVER AND THE AIRCRAFT STALLED.
