What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) CFI and student pilot conducting a training flight at Shelby County Airport, AL (eet) completed three touch and goes. Flew for approximately 1.5 hours on right tank (12 gallons capacity; 11 gallons usuable). While downwind for the fourth touch and go, the CFI demonstrated an engine out procedure. They landed, applied power and transferred controls to the student when the engine quit. According to a witness they were approximately 50 feet in the air at this point. The aircraft came to the ground, landed on the runway, ran over the runway light and proceeded through approximately 350 feet of the flat terrain and down a six to eight foot embankment. The nose gear was bent and the aircraft flipped over on its canopy. VFR conditions prevailed and both occupants suffered minor injuries.
