Probable cause

The flight instructor’s failure to confirm the position of the left engine’s auxiliary fuel boost pump switch during a simulated engine out procedure, which resulted in an excess amount of fuel in the engine and subsequent partial loss of power during a go-around/rejected landing. Contributing to the accident was the flight instructor’s failure to maintain control of the airplane, which resulted in a hard landing.
