I was on my phase III check for my FAA PPL, everything was going great, my stalls where good, so where my steep turns, ect. We came back towards the airport to do some pattern work. Well my first approach looked really good, the instructor called go around )to see if I could do it) so I added full power, and I got was a lot of vibration, lots of noise and very little engine power. I pull the throttle out again, and slowly advanced it, I got much of the same effect so I pulled it out again and told the instructor I was landing. I had the runway made and landed on it. It is not an exciting as some stories, however it is exciting enough for me!
