Narrative:

Received clearance for the ILS runway 17 myr and contact tower. Intercepted the localizer and started the final approach. Simulated engine failure with my throttle and the student became distraction. I was prepared to contact tower when I asked the student to set zero thrust on the simulated inoperative engine. I was distraction when the student reduced the throttle to idle on the operating engine, placing the BE76 in an unusual altitude. During recovery, I failed to contact tower. After the touch-and-go, I contacted departure. To prevent this in the future, I plan to set zero thrust on the inoperative engine myself.
