Preliminary information from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) indicates that a flight instructor reported a loss of power during a training flight, necessitating an emergency landing.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records reveal that the 51-year-old aircraft is registered to a private owner in Orlando. 

Just a year ago, a plane bearing the same tail number made an emergency landing on State Road 50 in Orange County, with no reported injuries in that incident either.
