(.19) On July 7, 2002, about 1100 eastern daylight time, a Piper J3-C65, N9264, was substantially damaged when it impacted the ground near Trinca Airport (13N), Andover, new jersey. The certificated flight instructor was seriously injured, and the certificated private pilot received minor injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. No flight plan had been filed for the local instructional flight, which was conducted under 14 CFR part 91. According to a federal aviation administration (FAA) inspector, the private pilot reported that he was receiving tailwheel training. During a climbout after a touch and go landing, about 300 to 400 feet above the ground, the flight instructor reduced engine power to simulate an engine failure. The private pilot slowed the airplane, and the flight instructor told him "to get the nose down." The private pilot continued to slow the airplane until it stalled, then spun into a cornfield.

Upon departing runway (6) at Trinca the aircraft climbed straight ahead to an altitude of about 400 to 600 feet , when the instructor, david nichol reduced power to simulate an engine out problem. The student michael goodwin, executed a left turn back toward the airport. The student stated the instructor told him to lower the nose on the aircraft to keep it from stalling, before the student could do this, the aircraft stalled and went into a spin and impacted the ground.
