What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
03/13/2019. Around 14:00 local time my student are doing instrument training under part 141. We were practicing VFR approches at Pompano airport with airplane N1206U. We took off from the fxe and departed to the north west at that point we requested an instrument approach with miami app in 119.7. They vector us for the LOC 15 cir 10. We circled to runway 10 and performed a touch and go. After the touch and go, we climbed north east bound. After the touch and go we climbed with a vx (62KT) as specified in flight center sop's. at 1000FT we performed the climb flowed/ checklist and contacted miami app again ready for our request. Everything was running normally until that point. We felt an uncommon explosion and lost around 300 RPM. I took over the controls because I knew something was wrong. I called the tower again telling them that I needed to go back because I had a loss of power. Due to the lack of time /altitude the most important thing for me at that point was landed the plane safely. I established the best glide speed attitude looking for 68KT in order to have the more distance available ( we were 2 miles NE of the airport ). They cleared me to land in runway, based on the winds coming from an easterly direction I considered landing on runway 15 the best option. I lost all the power available doing the left down wind. Established on final they cleared me to land on runway 15. I had perform a forward slip to land and soon as the landing was assured I selected full flaps. The landing was smooth and safe. We landed the plane and vacated the runway at the end without any issue. I secured the engine, plane and evacuated.
