Narrative:
While practicing a simulated engine failure from 3000 ft AGL (power off idle), I added power at about 300 ft AGL while executing a go around procedure. The engine quit and I was forced to land on a dirt road. After a full stop, I restarted the engine with no difficulty and did a check runup. I took off and continued the flight under normal conditions. I landed at sdl after 4 touch-and-goes. While securing the airplane, I discovered damage to the rear bottom of the tail.

Title: TRAINING FLT WITH SIMULATED ENG FAILURE TURNS INTO ACTUAL ENG FAILURE. FORCED LNDG.
Narrative: WHILE PRACTICING A SIMULATED ENG FAILURE FROM 3000 FT AGL (PWR OFF IDLE), I ADDED PWR AT ABOUT 300 FT AGL WHILE EXECUTING A GAR PROC. THE ENG QUIT AND I WAS FORCED TO LAND ON A DIRT ROAD. AFTER A FULL STOP, I RESTARTED THE ENG WITH NO DIFFICULTY AND DID A CHK RUNUP. I TOOK OFF AND CONTINUED THE FLT UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. I LANDED AT SDL AFTER 4 TOUCH-AND-GOES. WHILE SECURING THE AIRPLANE, I DISCOVERED DAMAGE TO THE REAR BOTTOM OF THE TAIL.
