Narrative:

On sep/sat/01, flying from panama city, fl, to louisville, ky, the pilot whom I was flying with and giving instrument instruction to had filed an IFR flight plan under my name (WX was VFR). He is a private pilot and doesn't hold an instrument rating and I don't have a high performance signoff which I had notified the other pilot. When I realized what the situation was I did not attempt to refile the flight plan. My reason for not doing so was that it was my first time flying with this particular pilot and airplane, overflt was to extend into the night. Adding the recent events in our country, I felt safer to be on an IFR flight plan. We took off about XA30 and about XD00 we suffered an engine failure about 6 mi south of campbellsville, ky. We went through the emergency checklist, however, the engine did not restart. Emergency was declared, and with the help of the ATC controllers in ZID, we were able to identify campbellsville airport and land safely and there was no damage to the airplane.
