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
Failure of the number 3 exhaust push rod caused the power loss. The CFI took control of the acft and performed a forced ldg on a private airstrip. Due to a higher than optimum approach the acft landed long, overran the end of the rwy and collided wiht trees.
