## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ON AUGUST 19, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 1927 CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME, A CIRRUS SR-22T N1133T VEERED OFF RUNWAY (RWY)14 AFTER TOUCHDOWN AT THE GRANBURY REGIONAL AIRPORT (KGDJ). THE AIRPLANE HIT A BARBED WIRE FENCE, AND THE RUDDER CONTACTED AN ELEVATED DIRT MOUND AFTER MAIN LANDING GEAR ROLLED OVER IT.  THE IMPACT OF THE RUDDER TO THE DIRT MOUND CAUSED THE AIRPLANE TO NEARLY SEVER IN TWO AT THE TAIL EMPENNAGE; THIS DAMAGE DESTROYED THE AIRCRAFT.  THE LEFT MAIN LANDING GEAR WAS ALSO DAMAGED AT THE AIRFRAME ATTACHMENT POINT AS A RESULT OF CONTACT WITH THE ELEVATED DIRT MOUND.  MAIN THE PRIVATE PILOT WAS UNJURIED IN THE CRASH BUT SUSTAINED A CUT TO HIS LEG ON BARBED WIRE WHILE WALKING AWAY FROM THE AIRPLANE; THIS REQUIRED NO MEDICAL ATTENTION.  THE AIRPLANE WAS REGISTERED TO AND OPERATED BY THE PILOT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF TITLE 14 CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 91 AS A PERSONAL FLIGHT.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT AND NO FLIGHT PLAN HAD BEEN FILED.
