What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Aircraft departed Gonzales Regional Airport (reg) for an instrument training flight. On-board were the private pilot privacy data omitted and the flight instructor. After take-off at approximately 150 feet the pilot states the aircraft would not climb. The CFI lowered the landing gear and turned on the auxillary fuel pump and the pilot checked the mags, prop control, mixture, throttle, and fuel selector. Once they determined that the aircraft would not climb they selected an off-airport landing site and made an emergency landing. The aircraft sustained damage during the landing due to uneven terrain.
