Summary
On September 16, 2014, a Cirrus Design Corp SR22 (N6081K) was involved in an accident near Longville, MN. The accident resulted in 2 serious injuries. The aircraft was destroyed.
The National Transportation Safety Board determined the probable cause of this accident to be: The pilot's loss of control during an attempted go-around following a multiple bounce landing.
During landing, the main landing gear touched down to the right of the runway centerline. The airplane bounced twice on the runway and began to veer left. The left wing dragged through the grass on the left side of the runway and the airplane continued into a drainage ditch. The airplane came to rest upright after it impacted the ditch; a postimpact fire ensued and consumed most of the fuselage. The wings and empennage sustained some fire damage and were mostly intact. Federal Aviation Administration inspectors and a Cirrus investigator provided on-scene assistance to ensure that the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) rocket motor was safely disarmed.
This accident is documented in NTSB report CEN14CA501. AviatorDB cross-references NTSB investigation data with FAA registry records to provide comprehensive safety information for aircraft N6081K.
