From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Description: on Friday, June 4, 2021 at approximately 1042 EDT, an incident occurred at the K3I7 dayton-phillipsburg airport involving aircraft registration N75SA, a Cirrus SR22, serial number 0955. The pilot-in-command (PIC) lost control of the aircraft during the landing phase and allowed the aircraft to depart the centerline of runway 21 after initial touchdown and baulked landing at the K3I7 airport. The PIC stated he was attempting a short field landing and experienced a hard landing on runway 21. After the hard landing, the aircraft bounced back into the air and the PIC stated he attempted to perform a go around but the aircraft had insufficient energy to gain altitude despite adding full throttle power. The PIC stated the aircraft veered to the left, descended, and came to a stop on the grass parallel to runway 21. The PIC was the only person onboard the aircraft and no injuries were reported. The aircraft sustained minor damage. The PIC of the flightprivacy data omitted who indicated he was conducting a solo flight in accordance with 14 CFR part 91.

The PIC had departed the kbak airport earlier the same day at approximately 1002 EDT and was performing a solo cross-country flight in the incident aircraft. The aircraft was purchased approximately two months prior to the incident and the PIC had been receiving flight instruction in the aircraft since he lacked experience in a similar make/model of aircraft. The incident flight was the first flight the PIC conducted in the incident aircraft without his flight instructor onboard. Inspectors investigating the incident did not find any other mechanical abnormalities of the aircraft. The flight was conducted under visual meteorological conditions and neither the runway conditions nor the weather conditions at the K3I7 airport were a contributing factor of the incident.
