Aircraft
After takeoff and clearing the runway surface so there was no runway remaining; the aircraft started losing power. We had enough thrust to maintain 300 ft. AGL; but that's it. With engine conditions worsening; I; the instructor and PIC (Pilot in Command); decided to fly toward a nearby field which was about 2 miles south of the airport. As we were approaching the field; the aircraft would no longer hold altitude; so we landed in said field with no damage to persons or property. The cause of the partial power loss is yet to be determined and no anomalies presented themselves during the preflight inspection or the pre takeoff engine checks. Due to a pre takeoff abort briefing; we had a plan for what to do if a situation such as this had occurred. The importance of a good abort briefing cannot be overstated.
Flight Instructor reported landing in a field after engine trouble precluded returning to departure airport.
