Narrative:

I was giving flight instruction to a student in the alert area (A-291A) on the miami sectional. I just finished demonstrating 'emergency engine out' procedures to my student who is studying for private pilot. We started the maneuver at 2500 ft MSL, flying northwest using a dirt road as a visual mark to put down on in an emergency. I asked the student to perform the task -- he did. The plane was too low and too slow and I took the controls. We made contact with the ground (dirt road) and came to a full stop 4 mi west of A-291A. We had no injuries and sustained some damage to the aircraft. (Bend in propeller -- nosewheel steering plastic wingtip.) I should have recovered from the maneuver at a higher altitude. In the future, this task will be performed at a safer location and altitude.

Title: A CFI AND STUDENT, FLYING A C150 IN ALERT AREA, A-291A, DID NOT RECOVER PROPERLY FROM A MANEUVER, MAKING A FORCED LNDG ON A DIRT ROAD.

Narrative: I WAS GIVING FLT INSTRUCTION TO A STUDENT IN THE ALERT AREA (A-291A) ON THE MIAMI SECTIONAL. I JUST FINISHED DEMONSTRATING 'EMER ENG OUT' PROCS TO MY STUDENT WHO IS STUDYING FOR PVT PLT. WE STARTED THE MANEUVER AT 2500 FT MSL, FLYING NW USING A DIRT ROAD AS A VISUAL MARK TO PUT DOWN ON IN AN EMER. I ASKED THE STUDENT TO PERFORM THE TASK -- HE DID. THE PLANE WAS TOO LOW AND TOO SLOW AND I TOOK THE CTLS. WE MADE CONTACT WITH THE GND (DIRT ROAD) AND CAME TO A FULL STOP 4 MI W OF A-291A. WE HAD NO INJURIES AND SUSTAINED SOME DAMAGE TO THE ACFT. (BEND IN PROP -- NOSEWHEEL STEERING PLASTIC WINGTIP.) I SHOULD HAVE RECOVERED FROM THE MANEUVER AT A HIGHER ALT. IN THE FUTURE, THIS TASK WILL BE PERFORMED AT A SAFER LOCATION AND ALT.
