## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: THE CESSNA HOSE CLAMP, P/N NAS397-34 FAILED TO KEEP THE CARB. AIR DUCT ATTACHED TO THE MUFFLER SHROUD. IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THE ENGINE BUILT UP CARB. ICE DURING THE FLIGHT AND THE PILOT WAS UNABLE TO GET RID OF IT. THIS WAS A PRIMARY INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT. THE CFI REPORTED THAT WHILE RETURNING TO THE DETROIT CITY AIRPORT THERE WAS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN ENGINE RPM. CARB. HEAT WAS APPLIED AND NO CHANGE IN ENGINE RPM WAS NOTED. THE CFI APPLIED FULL THROTTLE AND THE ENGINE LOST MORE RPM, DOWN TO IDLE. AN OFF AIRPORT LANDING WAS MADE ON A FACTORY SERVICE ROAD. DURING THE LANDING ROLL OUT THE LEFT WING AND FLAP STRUCK A SIGN POST AND RECEIVED MINOR DAMAGE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
