This has the potential to create an EXTREMELY dangerous and possibly deadly situation.

The runway light was damaged and the prop sustained damage as well. The runway light will need to be replaced, and the prop may be able to be repaired.

CFI ignores several warning flags before engine quits inflight.

Once on the roadway, I realized things were not right. At that point, I received a call from Ground telling me I was on a service road. The service road was not on the FAA airport diagram, and I saw no signs indicating it was a service road where I entered it.

This aircraft was not transmitting transponder or ADS-B. No radio calls, just barreling into the pattern the wrong way.

I wondered why they weren’t in the Bravo instead of blasting through our practice area.

The engine lost power entirely for five to six seconds. We quickly cycled the throttle, engaged the fuel pump, and switched fuel tanks. When the engine started back up, it felt unreliable.

While I was tying down my airplane, the lead pilot from the flight of two aerobatic airplanes drove up and introduced himself. He informed me that I had been party to a near miss on the downwind leg. I apparently cut off another airplane and that airplane descended below my flight path. I never saw another airplane in the pattern.
