N960JB – CIRRUS DESIGN CORP SR22 – 2010-05-20 NTSB Accident Report

On May 20, 2010, a Cirrus Design Corp SR22 (N960JB) was involved in an incident near Farmingdale, NY. 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 a go-around attempt.

According to the pilot/owner, he decided to "go around" at the completion of a practice instrument approach. After the application of full engine power, "the P-factor, along with the crosswind from the right, caused my left wing and left main landing gear to hit the ground momentarily." The pilot then reduced power to keep the airplane on the ground. The airplane departed the left side of the runway and struck a sign and an embankment, which resulted in substantial damage to the wings and the airframe. Following the accident, the pilot reported to a Federal Aviation Administration inspector that there were no deficiencies with the performance and handling of his airplane.

This incident is documented in NTSB report ERA10CA273. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N960JB.
