The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: Mr. George bowers, CFI, departed 5W5 airport with a student pilot on a VFR training flight. During the initial climb, it was reported that it appeared that the engine began losing power. The flight instructor immediately acquired control of the airplane and attempted to land, the aircraft was still positioned over the runway, when the aircraft landed it continued off the runway into a grassy area long the treeline, unable to bring the aircraft to a stop, it continued into a small creek and came to rest submerged in water with only approximately 3 feet of the aircraft wings being visible. The crew exited the aircraft and sustained no visible or reported injuries.
