## Discrepancy

THE STUDENT PILOT AND FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WERE PRACTICING POWER-OFFS STALLS WHEN THE THROTTLE BECAME STUCK AT THE IDLE POSITION.  DUE TO THE MECHANICAL PROBLEM, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR LANDED THE AIRCRAFT IN A VACANT FIELD.  THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT OR FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR, AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS NOT DAMAGED.
