I was getting a checkout in the beech duchess and while doing single engine operations at 3;000 ft the left engine failed to restart [after a planned engine failure exercise]. An emergency was declared by the instructor and I made a single engine landing at the airport where the airplane is based. No damage to the aircraft was perceived.
