Analysis
The student plt noted a partial power loss while practicing multiple touch-and-go landings. She stated that after she had turned on a downwind, she heard 'a different sound' from the eng and it appeared to lose power. During an apch for an off arpt landing, the acft struck power lines and nosed over into the ground. An exam of the eng did not reveal any discrepancies other than lead deposits on the spark plugs; however, the plugs tested satisfactily. Weather conditions at the time were conducive to induction icing, both at rated power and at glide power.
