Read the full NTSB narrative

A FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR GAVE A STUDENT PILOT A SIMULATED FORCED LANDING OVER A PRIVATE GRASS STRIP. WHILE RECOVERING FROM THE SIMULATED FORCED LANDING, THE ENGINE HESITATED AND SPUTTERED WHEN POWER WAS APPLIED. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TOOK CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE AND MADE A PRECAUTIONARY LANDING ON THE AIRSTRIP. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR RAN THE ENGINE UP AND EXPERIENCED AN SUBSTANTIAL MAGNETO DROP. AFTER CLEARING THE MAGNETO DROP, THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR CONFIGURED THE AIRPLANE FOR A SOFT FIELD TAKEOFF TO DEPART THE AIRSTRIP. THE INSTRUCTOR 'POPPED' THE AIRPLANE TO CLEAR A BARBED WIRE FENCE AT THE DEPARTURE END OF THE STRIP. THE LANDING GEAR STRUCK A BARBED WIRE RESULTING IN STRUCTURAL DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. THE FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR WAS ABLE TO FLY THE AIRPLANE TO A NEARBY AIRPORT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
