## Narrative

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

DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: ON 09/11/2025 THE SUBJECT AIRCRAFT WAS BEING USED BY A CERTIFIED FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR (CFI) AND STUDENT PILOT FOR TRAINING PURPOSES. AT AROUND 3500FT WHILE PERFORMING POWER-ON STALL MANEUVERS THE ENGINE BEGAN TO STUMBLE AND LOSE POWER DROPPING IN RPM FROM 2200 TO 1900 RPM INITIALLY. THE CFI TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT AND INITIALLY TRIED TO DIRECT THE AIRCRAFT TO A LOCAL AIRPORT. WHILE ENROUTE TO THE LOCAL AIRPORT, THE CFI SQUAWKED 7600 MISTAKENLY THEN 7700 TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY. THE CFI TRIED TO ADJUST THE FUEL MIXTURE, CHECKED MAGNETOS, AND CARB HEAT BUT RPM'S CONTINUED TO DROP. THE CFI DETERMINED QUICKLY THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE NEARBY AIRPORT AND ELECTED TO PICK A NEARBY FIELD TO MAKE A LANDING; BY THIS POINT ENGINE RPMS HAD DROPPED TO 600. THE CFI PUT FLAPS AT 40 DEGREES FOLLOWED BY TURNING THE FUEL VALVE AND MASTER POWER TO OFF. THE FIELD LANDING WAS SMOOTH AND DID NOT CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT. ONCE THEY HAD LANDED THE CFI VERFIED THAT THE STUDENT WAS OK AND THEN CONTACTED APPROACH THAT THEY HAD LANDED SAFELY WITHOUT INJURY OR DAMAGE.

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.
