Pilot Lost Control on the power makes power-off landing

A Power-Off Landing at Ann Arbor

A Cessna 172S Skyhawk SP, registration N1377S, was conducting manoeuvres at Ann Arbor Municipal Airport when the pilot reported a loss of control associated with the power setting and advised that a power-off landing would be necessary. The verified video record identifies the aircraft and airport but does not state the date of the occurrence.

Keeping the Aircraft Within the Airport Area

The incident occurred during local flying rather than an en-route diversion. The pilot recognised the problem while operating around Ann Arbor Municipal and chose to land without relying on normal engine power. The source record says the aircraft was brought around for Runway 24 and landed safely.

What the Verified Record Establishes

The available source identifies N1377S as a Cessna 172S and places the event at Ann Arbor Municipal Airport. It does not establish a mechanical failure, fuel problem or other specific cause, and it does not provide enough information to assign a probable cause. Those details are therefore not added to the account.
