## Narrative

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

(-23) BOTH PILOTS STATED THAT THEY WERE AT 2500' MSL, PRACTICING POWER-OFF STALLS, WHEN DURING RECOVERY AT ABOUT 2300' MSL THE THROTTLE WAS ADVANCED, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND. THE INSTRUCTOR STATES THAT HIS ATTEMPT TO RE-START THE ENGINE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. AN EMERGENCY LANDING WAS EXECUTED IN A PASTURE IN LONEJACK, MISSOURI. DURING LANDING, THE NOSE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY WAS SHEARED OFF THE AIRCRAFT. NEITHER PILOT WAS INJURED. ON-SITE INVESTIGATION VERIFIED ENGINE AND AIRFRAME CONTROL CONTINUITY. SUBSEQUENT OFF-SITE INSPECTION OF AIRCRAFT REVEALED NO MECHANICAL IRREGULARITIES, AND WHEN A SERVICEABLE PROPELLER WAS INSTALLED, THE ENGINE STARTED AND RAN WITHIN THE PARAMETERS PRESCRIBED BY THE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER. ENGINE WILL BE SENT TO THE POWERPLANT MANUFACTURER FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. ENGINE TOTAL TIME IS 2139.7 HOURS. ENGINE TIME SINCE FACTORY OVERHAUL IS 19.7 HOURS. THIS INCIDENT, ^PRIVACY DATA O^ IS CONSIDERED CLOSED.

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.
