Aircraft Accident/Incident Report
Livingston, Texas 77351
Friday, April 23, 2010 14:30 CDT
NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
The student pilot made the takeoff from runway 30. The instructor realized the engine was not producing maximum takeoff power and the airplane's climb rate had diminished. The instructor assumed control of the airplane and maneuvered the airplane onto the downwind leg for runway 12. In the attempt to return to the runway, "the airplane stalled and banked approximately 20 degrees left then right." The instructor was able to recover from the stall and realized a turn from base to final approach was not possible. He landed the airplane straight ahead on a grass field. The airplane bounced three times, collapsing the left main landing gear. A post-accident examination revealed no anomalies with the engine.
NTSB Probable Cause Narrative
A loss of engine power for undetermined reasons.
