## Narrative

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

(-23) FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT WERE PRACTICING "FORCED LANDINGS". STUDENT HAD FIELD MADE AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO RECOVER AND GO AROUND. UPON APPLYING THE POWER, THE ENGINE LOADED UP AND FAILED. THE INSTRUCTOR LANDED THE AIRCRAFT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT IN THE FIELD. A COMPANY MECHANIC WAS SUMMONED TO THE AREA AND HE CHECKED THE AIRCRAFT, STARTED AND RAN THE AIRCRAFT. INSTRUCTOR FLEW THE AIRCRAFT OUT OF THE FIELD AND RETURNED TO HOME BASE WHERE THE AIRCRAFT IS TO UNDER-GO A THOROUGH INSPECTION. THIS REPORT CLOSED THIS INCIDENT WITHOUT FURTHER ACTION.

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.
