What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Flight was a 14 CFR 91 instructional flight when the accident occurred. Aircraft was on final when the student pilot tried to add power but the engine did not respond. The student tried the throttle a second time with no engine response (engine wind milling) and landed short of the runway where the grass and asphalt meet, bounced onto the pavement and struck a threshold light and came to stop approximately 750-1000 feet from the end of runway 16. The aircraft was towed off of the runway to the hangar.
