Narrative:
Aircraft was on a left downwind abeam a touchdown spot to simulate a forced landing power off turning base leg, the examiner told me to switch runways and land on a parallel strip 2200 ft long. The approach to flare was normal. Just prior to touchdown the examiner told me to 'wave off'. I quickly configured the engine controls to achieve maximum power but the engine produced only an idle condition. After a couple of seconds the engine developed takeoff power. The aircraft was not at a safe flying speed nor would the aircraft be at a safe flying speed using the remaining runway. I immediately pulled the power to idle and used the remaining runway to stop on. The aircraft ran into the overrun area and the nose wheel collapsed and the wing tip struck the ground. No one was injured. Diagnosed as an aircraft incident. Cause of the incident is 2-FOLD. Last min decisions to reduce the margin of safety of a flight needs to be curtailed. Engine not developing power when needed also attributed to the incident.

Title: ATX PLT ON TRAINING FLT ABORTS TKOF GAR WHEN ENG FAILS TO PRODUCE TKOF PWR QUICKLY ENOUGH. RWY EXCURSION RESULTS.
Narrative: ACFT WAS ON A L DOWNWIND ABEAM A TOUCHDOWN SPOT TO SIMULATE A FORCED LNDG PWR OFF TURNING BASE LEG, THE EXAMINER TOLD ME TO SWITCH RWYS AND LAND ON A PARALLEL STRIP 2200 FT LONG. THE APCH TO FLARE WAS NORMAL. JUST PRIOR TO TOUCHDOWN THE EXAMINER TOLD ME TO 'WAVE OFF'. I QUICKLY CONFIGURED THE ENG CTLS TO ACHIEVE MAX PWR BUT THE ENG PRODUCED ONLY AN IDLE CONDITION. AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS THE ENG DEVELOPED TKOF PWR. THE ACFT WAS NOT AT A SAFE FLYING SPD NOR WOULD THE ACFT BE AT A SAFE FLYING SPD USING THE REMAINING RWY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE PWR TO IDLE AND USED THE REMAINING RWY TO STOP ON. THE ACFT RAN INTO THE OVERRUN AREA AND THE NOSE WHEEL COLLAPSED AND THE WING TIP STRUCK THE GND. NO ONE WAS INJURED. DIAGNOSED AS AN ACFT INCIDENT. CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT IS 2-FOLD. LAST MIN DECISIONS TO REDUCE THE MARGIN OF SAFETY OF A FLT NEEDS TO BE CURTAILED. ENG NOT DEVELOPING PWR WHEN NEEDED ALSO ATTRIBUTED TO THE INCIDENT.
