Accident Overview
A flight instructor (CFI) and a student pilot were conducting a touch-and-go landing at an undisclosed airport. During the takeoff phase, at an altitude of approximately 150 to 200 feet above ground level (AGL), the engine began to run roughly. This was followed by a progressive loss of engine power.
Sequence of Events
The pilots attempted to return to the airport, but the available altitude was insufficient. The aircraft subsequently settled into nearby trees.
Post-Accident Examination
A post-accident examination of the engine was conducted. The examination revealed no mechanical reason for the power loss. When the engine was tested, it started and ran normally, without any anomalies detected.
