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 student plt & CFI were practicing slow flt & stalls. Carb heat was applied before the start of each stall series. During the recovery from the last stall the student plt applied only partial pwr. The CFI applied full pwr & the eng began to run rough. The CFI then increased the mixture to full rich. The eng ran better & RPM increased about 150- 200 RPM for a short time before it began to run rough again and then quit entirely. The CFI stated later that he was surprised when the prop stopped at 75-70 KTS IAS. The CFI assumed control of the acft & made a forced lndg in a marshy area. The acft went through a fence and nosed over. Post-crash exam of the acft revealed nothing that would have precluded normal operations.
