Narrative:

A similar form has been submitted by the pilot describing this event. As the pilot was executing a simulated emergency approach and landing at the ojc airport, it became apparent the aircraft would not reach the runway without applying additional power. As the pilot applied full power, the engine coughed and never produced additional power. Being at low altitude and insufficient power, the aircraft descended, contacted the ground in level altitude, but resulted in a collapsed nose gear. No injuries were sustained. The engine was a 20 hour factory remanufactured engine installed during the preceding 90 days.

Title: WHEN PLT OF A BEECH A36 ATTEMPTED TO ADD FULL PWR DURING A SIMULATED FORCED LNDG TRAINING FLT, THE ENG DID NOT RESPOND, CAUSING A FORCED LNDG JUST SHORT OF THE RWY. THE NOSE GEAR WAS DAMAGED.

Narrative: A SIMILAR FORM HAS BEEN SUBMITTED BY THE PLT DESCRIBING THIS EVENT. AS THE PLT WAS EXECUTING A SIMULATED EMER APCH AND LNDG AT THE OJC ARPT, IT BECAME APPARENT THE ACFT WOULD NOT REACH THE RWY WITHOUT APPLYING ADDITIONAL PWR. AS THE PLT APPLIED FULL PWR, THE ENG COUGHED AND NEVER PRODUCED ADDITIONAL PWR. BEING AT LOW ALT AND INSUFFICIENT PWR, THE ACFT DSNDED, CONTACTED THE GND IN LEVEL ALT, BUT RESULTED IN A COLLAPSED NOSE GEAR. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE ENG WAS A 20 HR FACTORY REMANUFACTURED ENG INSTALLED DURING THE PRECEDING 90 DAYS.
