## Narrative

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

A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR AND STUDENT WERE ON A TRAINING FLIGHT. WHILE IN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN CLIMBING THROUGH 800 FEET, THEY HEARD  A VERY LOUD NOISE, FOLLOWED BY EXTREME VIBRATIONS. THE INSTRUCTOR REDUCED POWER IN AN ATTEMPT TO REDUCE THE VIBRATIONS, WITH NO SUCCESS. THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND THE AIRCRAFT LANDED. THE AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO THE RAMP WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT. NO INJURIES.
