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
At a reduced power setting, while maneuvering, a loss of power occurred. An inadvertent stall was then entered. The student pilot is legally deaf, but the stall warning system incorporated a red stall warning light. After the stall occurred the aircraft descended into the trees. The reason for the engine failure could not be determined.
