Had carb heat on, as rpms were below the arc.

But no, I wasn't instructed to input throttle during
the descent. Is that what you mean?

Your CFI should have been doing that. All of mine did, every time. Prevents
such occurrences.

I'm speechless.

We have a choice of appx.7 cfi's to choose from at
this academy. I'll try another. If the head instructor
knew, this one would be fired.

In hindsight, the gravity of what happened yesterday is
serious. I barely had time to pull out. On the way back
up I was compelled to keep scanning that field. It looked
possible but there was something barely visible running
across it. Now I'm thinking it was a ditch.
