What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Narrative: aircraft was on departure climb from cedar valley airport with pilot under instruction at the flight controls. Engine began to run rough and lose power so flight instructor took control of the aircraft and applied carburetor heat. Engine did not immediately regain power so the flight instructor pushed the carburetor heat control back in to the off position. Instructor executed an emergency landing to a nearby dirt strip. Upon landing the propellor contacted the surface in that it was very soft and muddy. The crew waited approximately two hours, restarted the aircraft and executed a takeoff and flew the aircraft to the home base at Provo, Utah without further incident. Damage was sustained to the propeller with a number of nicks being made in the propellor blades from contacting the mud on the runway. The nose wheel shock strut was bent slightly aft, right hand upper and left hand lower vertical engine mounts were slightly bent. This investigation is final and closed.
