The pilot was able to land the airplane on the remaining runway without further incident. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the engine mounts. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical failures of malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. Following the accident and after discussing the circumstances surrounding the accident with the National Transportation Safety Board investigator-in-charge, the airport management team created and implemented a deer caution notice for the airport’s automated weather observing system. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N513JP](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N513JP), registered now, S/N 1693, built 2018 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CIRRUS SR22 (T) - Registry model: [Cirrus Design SR22T](https://openairdocs.org/model/cirrus-design-sr22t) (registry code 2130004) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental TSIO-550-K](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-tsio-550-k) (registry code 17410, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 1693 - Year built: 2018 - Airframe hours: 626.4 - Engines: Continental Motors TSIO-550-K 315 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Business, Part 91 - Registered owner: PLT Aviation, LLC - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, July 9, 2020 - Destination: PDK, Atlanta, GA - Flight plan: IFR - Airport: I19, Greene County – Lewis A.
