## Narrative

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

DURING A TRAINING FLIGHT PREPARING FOR A MULTI ENGINE CHECK RIDE THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS SHUT DOWN AND PROP WAS FEATHERED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MINUTES.  AFTER THAT THE ENGINE WAS RE-STARTED AND SET FOR SIMULATED FEATHER AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 RPM.   THE STUDENT WAS THEN INSTRUCTED TO LAND THE AIRCRAFT AND PERFORM A TOUCH AND GO.  THE STUDENT PILOT LANDED THE AIRCRAFT AND APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES AFTER THE ENGINE WAS RE-STARTED APPLIED FULL POWER TO BOTH ENGINES.  AT THE TIME POWER WAS APPLIED THE CHT ON THE RIGHT ENGINE WAS AT 117 DEGREES F (NORMAL RANGE 200-500). THE LEFT ENGINE RESPONDED AS EXPECTED AND CLIMBED TO 2650 RPM, THE RIGHT ENGINE DID NOT RESPOND AND THE RPM NEVER CLIMBED ABOVE 1091 RPM.  THE AIRCRAFT STARTED MOVING TO THE RIGHT OF CENTERLINE. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO DRIFT TO THE RIGHT AND THE CFI TOOK OVER THE AIRCRAFT CONTROLS AND ROTATED FOR TAKEOFF.  THE CFI RETRACTED THE LANDING GEAR BUT WAS UNABLE TO CLIMB SO HE DECREASED THE ENGINES TO IDLE AND LANDED GEAR UP IN THE GRASS JUST PAST THE END OF THE RUNWAY. TOTAL TIME FROM APPLYING FULL POWER TO 0 AIRSPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 38 SECONDS.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT WAS DETERMINED TO BE MINOR.   THE AIRCRAFT WAS LIFTED WITH A CRANE, LANDING GEAR WAS LOWERED AND AIRCRAFT WAS TOWED TO A HANGAR.

NORTH STAR AVIATION?S OPERATING MANUAL LIMITS TOUCH AND GO TO NORMAL LANDINGS ONLY, ALL SINGLE ENGINE LANDINGS MUST COME TO A FULL STOP.

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.
