Narrative:

Student and myself were practicing an engine failure just after takeoff. The student set the plane up for a forced landing and went through the procedures for a forced landing. When we tried to go around the engine wouldn't produce any power and coughed. I took control of the aircraft and proceeded with an actual forced landing. At the end of the field was a drainage ditch which we went into. The student and myself were unhurt and the aircraft received minor damage. The cause I believe was carburetor icing. The carburetor heat control wasn't pulled out I believe.

Title: SMA ACFT TRAINING FLT, SIMULATED FORCED LNDG PRACTICE. ENG FAILED TO RECOVER PWR, FORCED AN OFF ARPT LNDG.

Narrative: STUDENT AND MYSELF WERE PRACTICING AN ENG FAILURE JUST AFTER TKOF. THE STUDENT SET THE PLANE UP FOR A FORCED LNDG AND WENT THROUGH THE PROCS FOR A FORCED LNDG. WHEN WE TRIED TO GAR THE ENG WOULDN'T PRODUCE ANY PWR AND COUGHED. I TOOK CTL OF THE ACFT AND PROCEEDED WITH AN ACTUAL FORCED LNDG. AT THE END OF THE FIELD WAS A DRAINAGE DITCH WHICH WE WENT INTO. THE STUDENT AND MYSELF WERE UNHURT AND THE ACFT RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE. THE CAUSE I BELIEVE WAS CARB ICING. THE CARB HEAT CTL WASN'T PULLED OUT I BELIEVE.
