Human Factors
During late evening; we were conducting a commercial training flight; in the traffic pattern; performing takeoffs and landings. The student was performing a second 180 precision approach to landing. On the downwind leg to Runway 6; student performed GUMPS (landing mental checklist) at the midfield position and continued to ensure area was clear along with myself. During the previous maneuver; we had heard the other aircraft call turning 'crosswind' for runway 6 and heard no further radio calls from the 2nd aircraft. As we arrived abeam the landing point; I continued to scan the base leg area and final leg area and did not see the other aircraft or hear any radio calls announcing the 'base or final leg' for his landing. The student began the maneuver by reducing engine power to idle; began the turn and made his radio call; 'turning base to final; simulated engine out'. We still had no visual sight of the 2nd aircraft and heard no radio call that it was on final. Upon landing; the 2nd aircraft stated we had passed over him which culminated in the 2nd aircraft performing a 'go-around' maneuver. We terminated the training flight and discussed what had happened and how this type of event could be prevented in the future. It was agreed upon; that when performing this maneuver; to ask over the radio if any aircraft is on final approach to the runway before beginning the maneuver.
PA28 Flight Instructor is informed after landing that a second PA28 was over flown on final during a practice engine out approach. CTAF procedures were in effect and both aircraft had radios.
