N877CM

On June 24, 2008, a Cirrus Design Corp. SR22 (N877CM) was involved in an incident near Laramie, WY. All 1 person aboard were uninjured. The aircraft sustained substantial damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this incident to be: The pilot's failure to attain and maintain an adequate airspeed during a go around, that resulted in a stall/mush. Contributing to the accident was the tailwind condition.

In a written statement, the pilot reported that he performed a normal landing approach to runway 12 at Laramie Regional Airport. As the airplane entered the traffic pattern, the pilot indicated he was a little high, but at pattern altitude as he came abeam the runway approach end. Upon turning to final approach, he added the final flaps. He was on the glide path at the normal airspeed and crossed over the runway numbers at 77 knots. The airplane floated as he began the flare, and he noticed that the ground speed was very fast. The pilot continued the flare "as normal" when the stall warning horn sounded. He looked down and saw that the airplane was about 10 to 15 feet above the runway.

This incident is documented in NTSB report LAX08CA189. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N877CM.
