## Narrative

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

(-5) TOOK OFF FROM DPA TO ARR AND DID SOME AIRWORK PRACTICING SIMULATED LANDINGS AND STALLS. ESTABLISHED AIRCRAFT ON FINAL @ 80 MPH. ENGINE QUIT @ 900 MSL, 150' AGL, SET UP FOR DEAD STICK LANDING. AIRCRAFT WAS ALMOST IN FLAIR WHEN ENGINE CAME BACK TO LIFE. AIRCRAFT WAS TRIMMED NOSE HIGH. AIRCRAFT CLIMBED, STALLED, AND THEN LANDED FLAT, SHEARING RIGHT LANDING GEAR. CARB HEAT WAS PUT ON DURING BASE LEG. PYLON TANKS AND GASELATOR HAD WATER DURING PREFLIGHT AT DPA. WHILE LANDING ON RWY 27 AT ARR DURING THE STALL, THE ACFT DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT (5 KT WIND OUT OF 190) AND LANDED IN THE GRASS. DUE TO THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED IN THE INCIDENT, THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUN UP. POST INCIDENT INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE REVEALED THAT ALL OF THE KEY ELEMENTS WERE PRESENT FOR THE ENGINE TO OPERATE NORMALLY. ALL SPARK PLUGS WERE CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE SERVICEABLE. FUEL WAS PRESENT IN THE TANKS AND THE GASALATOR WITH NO VISIBLE SIGN OF CONTAMINATION. TURNING THE ENGINE OVER BY HAND SHOWED THAT ALL CYLINDERS HAD COMPRESSION AND A SPARK WAS PRESENT.

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.
