## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE DEMONSTRATING A STALL MANEUVER THE ENGINE STOPPED IN FLIGHT. AN ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE ENGINE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE AIRCRAFT SUBSEQUENTLY CRASHED INTO THE TREES WHILE ATTEMPTING AN EMERGENCY LANDING INTO AN OPEN FIELD. THE AIRCRAFT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED AND THE INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION BY FAA AND NTSB REVEALED INTERNAL OVERTEMPERATURE DAMAGE TO NUMBER 3 CYLINDER. THE NTSB WILL HAVE FURTHER TEST OF THE ENGINE PERFORMED (WITH GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT) BY LYCOMING THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER.
