What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) On November 20, 1999, at approximately 1345 local time, N413JK crashed while performing simulated engine out procedures. N413JK departed a local uncontrolled airport. Upon reaching cruse alitiude, the flight instructor a simulated engine failure. Upon reaching the recovery altitude, the throttle was applied, the engine failed to respond. Carburetor heat was verified in the on position, emergency procedures were conducted with no result. At approximately 100 feet AGL, the engine was secured, a landing was excuted into a recently plowed field. Upon contact by the front landing gear, the aircraft vaulted over onto it's back. Substantial damage was sustained. The weather was VFR, wind calm, no flight plan was filed. No injuries were sustained. (.4)during an instructional flight, the airplane's engine failed to respond when the pilot receiving instruction advanced the throttle from idle to full power. The flight instructor had simulated a loss of engine power by applying full carburetor heat and retarding the throttle to idle, while at 1,700 feet AGL. At 700 feet AGL, the flight instructor directed the pilot re ceiving instruction to initiate a recovery. The flight instructor assumed the controls and configured the airplanes with full flaps when the engine failed to respond. The airplane touched down in a freshly plowed field. After touching down, the airplane rolled on its main landing gear for approximately 50 feet. As the speed dissipated, the nose landing gear touched down and samk in the soft ground. Subsequently, the airplane nosed over and came to rest in the inverted position. An engine test run was attempted under the supervision of an FAA inspector. The engine failed to start due to excessively fouled spark plugs.
As the FAA filed it
(-23) ON NOVEMBER 20, 1999, AT APPROXIMATELY 1345 LOCAL TIME, N413JK CRASHED WHILE PERFORMING SIMULATED ENGINE OUT PROCEDURES. N413JK DEPARTED A LOCAL UNCONTROLLED AIRPORT. UPON REACHING CRUSE ALITIUDE, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR A SIMULATED ENGINE FAILURE. UPON REACHING THE RECOVERY ALTITUDE, THE THROTTLE WAS APPLIED, THE ENGINE FAILED TO RESPOND. CARBURETOR HEAT WAS VERIFIED IN THE ON POSITION, EMERGENCY PROCEDURES WERE CONDUCTED WITH NO RESULT. AT APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET AGL, THE ENGINE WAS SECURED, A LANDING WAS EXCUTED INTO A RECENTLY PLOWED FIELD. UPON CONTACT BY THE FRONT LANDING GEAR, THE AIRCRAFT VAULTED OVER ONTO IT'S BACK. SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED. THE WEATHER WAS VFR, WIND CALM, NO FLIGHT PLAN WAS FILED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. (.4)DURING AN INSTRUCTIONAL FLIGHT, THE AIRPLANE'S ENGINE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE PILOT RECEIVING INSTRUCTION ADVANCED THE THROTTLE FROM IDLE TO FULL POWER. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR HAD SIMULATED A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER BY APPLYING FULL CARBURETOR HEAT AND RETARDING THE THROTTLE TO IDLE, WHILE AT 1,700 FEET AGL. AT 700 FEET AGL, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR DIRECTED THE PILOT RE CEIVING INSTRUCTION TO INITIATE A RECOVERY. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR ASSUMED THE CONTROLS AND CONFIGURED THE AIRPLANES WITH FULL FLAPS WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE AIRPLANE TOUCHED DOWN IN A FRESHLY PLOWED FIELD. AFTER TOUCHING DOWN, THE AIRPLANE ROLLED ON ITS MAIN LANDING GEAR FOR APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET. AS THE SPEED DISSIPATED, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR TOUCHED DOWN AND SAMK IN THE SOFT GROUND. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE AIRPLANE NOSED OVER AND CAME TO REST IN THE INVERTED POSITION. AN ENGINE TEST RUN WAS ATTEMPTED UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF AN FAA INSPECTOR. THE ENGINE FAILED TO START DUE TO EXCESSIVELY FOULED SPARK PLUGS.
