From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-23)privacy data omitted, an instructor pilot, was giving a non-rated, privacy data omitted, individual instruction. privacy data omitted, Owner of the aircraft, was on his third instructional flight and was practicing a power stall at about 1700 feet AGL. When privacy data omitted applied power to recover from the stall the engine ceased to respond and stopped running. privacy data omitted Took control of the aircraft, located suitable landing area, attempted (unseccesfully) to re-start the engine, made a "may-day" call, and executed a landinginto a pasture which was within their gliding distance. There was no injury to persons, only minor damage to the aircraft, and little damage to property (two small sections of fence which the airplane went through on landing). privacy data omitted Did an outstanding job of landing the airplane in a very restriced area. No corrective action is planed concerning reevaluating privacy data omitted proficiency or ability. However, an eir is being opened to investigate the A&P mechanic who improperly installed an air filter which, most likely caused the engine to fail.
