Out of what? Out of the engine? Presumably it was out while it was being
dropped? I think we need a little more detail about what you are trying
to do and why you are having trouble doing it. DB

The rule of thumb on dropping spark plugs is to drop it twice:

1. Accidentally on the floor

2. Into the trash.

It's hard-pressed to fall into the cylinder, so I gather it fell
somewhere inside the cowl?

To paraphrase one of my professors (he was referring to blown transistors):

Put it in your pocket.
Take it a long way from the airport and throw it away so
it never finds it's way back.
