Summary
On January 24, 2011, a Cirrus Design Corp SR22 (N1116C) was involved in an incident near Jasper, AL. All 2 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 loss of directional control on a wet runway during takeoff from a touch and go landing resulting in a runway excursion.
According to the pilot, he was conducting a touch-and-go landing on an asphalt runway oriented 090 degrees. After a normal landing, he added full power for takeoff, and the airplane veered to the left. The pilot attempted to correct with right rudder, and also pulled back the throttle; however, the airplane departed the left side of the runway, and impacted the ground near a drainage ditch. The airplane's right main and nose landing gears separated, and the right wing was substantially damaged. Examination of airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector did not reveal any mechanical malfunctions; nor did the pilot report any. The pilot reported that the weather at the time of the accident included light wind from about 160 degrees at 4 knots, and light rain.
This incident is documented in NTSB report ERA11CA123. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N1116C.
