Summary

On January 16, 2010, a Cirrus SR22 (N155SR) was involved in an incident near Fredericksburg, TX. All 4 people 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 maintain directional control during landing, and his failure to properly execute a go-around.

After completing a 167-mile cross country flight in dark night conditions, the pilot landed on a 5,000-foot long runway. The pilot stated that during the landing roll, the airplane encountered a gust of wind from the right, and he could not prevent the airplane from drifting to the left. He said that he applied full power and attempted a go around, but the airplane would not become airborne. The pilot said he reduced power before the airplane struck a fence on the left side. There was substantial damage to the wing, fuselage, and the landing gear, but no injuries to the four persons on-board.

This incident is documented in NTSB report CEN10CA104. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N155SR.
