Narrative:

In sum: the instructor pilot and his student prepared the PA34-200 seneca for a training flight. The student was from another country and english was a second language. Some language barrier issues contributed to the events that followed. The instructor explained to the student that the only foot brakes on the PA34 were on the left (student's) side of the cockpit and the student would be responsible for their operation. The instructor further advised that; in the event of an emergency; the instructor would utilize the hand brake as a last resort. Upon takeoff; it was discovered the left engine would not respond to throttle movement and remained at takeoff power. Unable to correct the problem the instructor declared an emergency and returned to the departure airport. 2 attempts at landing were made. The first was aborted prior to touchdown because of the high power setting on the left engine. After shutting down and securing the left engine; the second approach terminated in a successful touchdown. The instructor pilot attempted to get the student to apply the brakes but the language barrier prevented successful communication. The instructor pilot then shut down the right engine in an attempt to slow the airplane while simultaneously applying hand brake. After stopping on the runway they restarted the right engine at the tower's request in order to clear the runway for waiting departures. During taxi back to the ramp on the parallel taxiway; the instructor pilot attempted to restart the left engine. When it started it again went to full throttle; turning the aircraft to the right; accelerating it across the unimproved surface and back onto the runway where an encounter of unstated severity occurred with a departing aircraft. The engines were once again shut down and the aircraft towed to parking. Subsequent investigation and interviews were conducted with the FBO safety director and airport operations.

Title: FOLLOWING A SUCCESSFUL SINGLE ENG LNDG; INSTRUCTOR PLT OF PA34 RESTARTS MALFUNCTIONING ENG WHICH GOES TO FULL PWR AND PROPELS THE ACFT BACK ONTO THE ACTIVE RWY.

Narrative: IN SUM: THE INSTRUCTOR PLT AND HIS STUDENT PREPARED THE PA34-200 SENECA FOR A TRAINING FLT. THE STUDENT WAS FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND ENGLISH WAS A SECOND LANGUAGE. SOME LANGUAGE BARRIER ISSUES CONTRIBUTED TO THE EVENTS THAT FOLLOWED. THE INSTRUCTOR EXPLAINED TO THE STUDENT THAT THE ONLY FOOT BRAKES ON THE PA34 WERE ON THE L (STUDENT'S) SIDE OF THE COCKPIT AND THE STUDENT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OP. THE INSTRUCTOR FURTHER ADVISED THAT; IN THE EVENT OF AN EMER; THE INSTRUCTOR WOULD UTILIZE THE HAND BRAKE AS A LAST RESORT. UPON TKOF; IT WAS DISCOVERED THE L ENG WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE MOVEMENT AND REMAINED AT TKOF PWR. UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROB THE INSTRUCTOR DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED TO THE DEP ARPT. 2 ATTEMPTS AT LNDG WERE MADE. THE FIRST WAS ABORTED PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PWR SETTING ON THE L ENG. AFTER SHUTTING DOWN AND SECURING THE L ENG; THE SECOND APCH TERMINATED IN A SUCCESSFUL TOUCHDOWN. THE INSTRUCTOR PLT ATTEMPTED TO GET THE STUDENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES BUT THE LANGUAGE BARRIER PREVENTED SUCCESSFUL COM. THE INSTRUCTOR PLT THEN SHUT DOWN THE R ENG IN AN ATTEMPT TO SLOW THE AIRPLANE WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY APPLYING HAND BRAKE. AFTER STOPPING ON THE RWY THEY RESTARTED THE R ENG AT THE TWR'S REQUEST IN ORDER TO CLR THE RWY FOR WAITING DEPS. DURING TAXI BACK TO THE RAMP ON THE PARALLEL TXWY; THE INSTRUCTOR PLT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE L ENG. WHEN IT STARTED IT AGAIN WENT TO FULL THROTTLE; TURNING THE ACFT TO THE R; ACCELERATING IT ACROSS THE UNIMPROVED SURFACE AND BACK ONTO THE RWY WHERE AN ENCOUNTER OF UNSTATED SEVERITY OCCURRED WITH A DEPARTING ACFT. THE ENGS WERE ONCE AGAIN SHUT DOWN AND THE ACFT TOWED TO PARKING. SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION AND INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED WITH THE FBO SAFETY DIRECTOR AND ARPT OPS.
