N377BB

On June 11, 2013, a Cirrus Design Corp SR22 (N377BB) was involved in an incident near Truckee, CA. 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 maintain aircraft control during landing in gusting wind conditions.

The pilot reported that as the airplane touched down on the runway, a gust of wind lifted the right wing. The pilot attempted to abort the landing by adding power but realized that he would be unable to clear the trees at the end of the runway. He then retarded the throttle and committed to land. The airplane landed off the runway and during the excursion, hit a parked glider trailer. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the wings and the fuselage. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

This incident is documented in NTSB report WPR13CA268. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N377BB.
