## Narrative

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

DURING A FLIGHT DEMONSTRATION WITH A STUDENT PILOT, THE PILOT STARTED FEELING STRONG VIBRATIONS FROM THE ENGINE AND NOTICED A REDUCTION IN RPM.  PILOT ELECTED TO RETURN TO PNS.  WHILE ENROUTE, THE VIBRATION BECAME STRONGER AND THE DECREASE IN RPM CONTINUED.  APPROXIMATELY 7 MILES WEST OF PNS, AND 800 FT ALTITUDE, THE ENGINE QUIT.  THE PILOT MADE AN EMERGENCY LANDING ON STATE ROUTE 339 IN NAVARRE, FL.

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.
