N750SR – CIRRUS DESIGN CORP SR20 – 2012-10-02 NTSB Accident Report

On October 02, 2012, a Cirrus Design Corp SR20 (N750SR) was involved in an incident near Eden Prairie, MN. 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 inadequate braking action and decision to abort the landing near the departure end of the runway. Contributing to the accident was the pilot’s attempt to land near the midpoint of the runway.

The pilot reported that he flew a visual approach and landed near the midpoint of a 2,691 foot runway. The wind was at 5 knots and aligned with the runway, which was dry. After landing, the pilot applied “light/normal braking”, but noticed his deceleration rate was inadequate to stop on the remaining runway. The pilot subsequently applied heavier braking, but the brakes “seemed to have no effect.” Realizing he was not going to stop the airplane on the remaining runway, the pilot attempted a go-around near the departure end of the runway. The airplane never became airborne, departed the runway, and impacted an airport perimeter fence. Substantial damage to the airplane included impact damage to both wings and ailerons.

This incident is documented in NTSB report CEN13CA007. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N750SR.
