Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
The acft was being operated on a student instructional flt. On initial run up the CFI stated he had an excessive mag drop that cleared up. The acft was flown to an adjacent field to make two touch and go landings. During the last takeoff the CFI suspected a power hesitation. The acft was flown back to it's home base where a mag check was performed. The check was alright and takeoff was initiated to remain in the traffic pattern. On downwind carburetor heat was applied and then removed. The student pilot was given a simulated eng out at the apch end of the rwy. On final apch the throttle was advanced with no response from the eng and the acft was landed short of the rwy. Inspection failed to reveal any failure/malfunction.
