Aircraft Engine Failure During Climb at Raymond Airport (N929TP)

Flight Sequence and Engine Failure According to the pilot, the aircraft departed with full auxiliary and main fuel tanks, with the fuel selector set to the left main tank. After performing maneuvers and two ILS approaches to runway 16 at Hawkins Field, the crew switched the selector to the auxiliary tanks position. They then flew to view land in Rankin County before returning to Raymond Airport. During a left downwind for runway 12, the pilot set the selector to the right main tank and completed a touch-and-go. While climbing to 200 feet after the second takeoff, the engine ceased operating. The flight instructor took control, and both crew members performed emergency procedures, confirming the fuel selector was on the right main tank and that fuel gauges indicated fuel was present. As they descended toward trees, the instructor instructed the pilot to activate the auxiliary pump, which restored engine operation long enough to clear the trees. The engine failed again, and the aircraft stalled over the trees before impacting the ground.
