## Narrative

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

ON JUNE 11, 2019, AT APPROXIMATELY 1512 EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME, A BELLANCA 7KCAB, N88476, MADE A POWEROFF LANDING AT MCDANIEL'S FIELD AIRPORT (90IN), MARTINSVILLE, INDIANA. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED NO DAMAGE. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR, WHO WAS PILOT IN COMMAND (PIC) AND STUDENT WERE UNINJURED DURING THE INCIDENT. THE AIRCRAFT IS REGISTERED TO BLOOMINGTON AVIATION AND WAS BEING OPERATED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF 14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS (CFR) PART 91 AS A GENERAL AVIATION FLIGHT. THE SECOND PILOT WAS RECEIVING FLIGHT TRAINING FOR A TAILWHEEL ENDORSEMENT. THE WEATHER AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS VISUAL METEROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (VMC).

THE PIC STATED "NORMAL POWER OFF STALL PROCEDURES WERE IMPLEMENTED. POWER WAS REDUCED TO IDLE AND THE NOSE PITCHED UP TO AN INCREASINGLY HIGHER ANGLE OF ATTACK. PRIOR TO REACHING A STALL THE ENGINE SLOWED AND STOPPED WITH THE PROPELLER STICKING STRAIGHT UP. WE IMMEDIATELY PITCHED FOR BEST GLIDE AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE WITH NO LUCK. WE THEN EXECUTED OUR EMERGENCY CHECKLIST AND CONTACTED KBMG TOWER TO NOTIFY OF OUR EMERGENCY. WE HAD AN ENGINE OUT AND WE WERE GOING TO MARTINSVILLE WITH TWO SOULS ON BOARD. WE INFORMED THEM WE WOULD MAKE CONTACT BY PHONE ONCE DOWN ON THE GROUND. WE WERE MAINTAINING BEST GLIDE THROUGHOUT AND HEADED TO MARTINSVILLE. WE ARRIVED OVER MARTINSVILLE AT ABOUT 2500. WE NOTIFIED MARTINSVILLE TRAFFIC THAT WE WERE OVERHEAD WITH AN ENGINE OUT. WE COMPLETED A CIRCLE TO LAND MANEUVER WITH A FORWARD SLIP TO GET DOWN TO THE RUNWAY. WE MAINTAINED EXTRA SPEED AND ALTITUDE TO ENSURE THE LANDING WAS MADE. TOUCHDOWN WAS NORMAL AND THE LANDING ROLL WENT FURTHER DUE TO EXCESS SPEED. WE ROLLED TO A STOP WHERE WE EXITED THE AIRCRAFT AFTER TURNING OFF ALL SWITCHES. WE THEN PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT A FEW FEET TO A PARKING SPOT WHEN SIRENS COULD BE HEARD APPROACHING OUR LOCATION. MARTINSVILLE POLICE WERE FIRST ON THE SCENE. THEY WERE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY MARTINSVILLE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND AMBULANCE. WE MADE CONTACT WITH KBMG TOWER AND COMPANY OPERATIONS TO NOTIFY WE WERE DOWN AND SAFE.  WE TIED THE AIRCRAFT DOWN ON SITE WITH ASSISTANCE FROM SOME OF THE RESIDENT PILOTS. A COMPLETE POST FLIGHT INSPECTION AND REPAIR WAS COMPLETED BY BOB BURKE, IA.  UPON COMPLETION OF THE INSPECTION AND FIELD REPAIRS I FLEW THE AIRCRAFT BACK TO KBMG WITHOUT INCIDENT ON 12 JUN 19."

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.
