He crossed the runway threshold about 78 knots and began the landing flare. He stated he was expecting the airplane to float but the airplane dropped 3 to 4 ft and bounced. He said after the bounce the airplane ballooned up about 8 to 10 ft and he elected to execute a go-around. He retracted the flaps to 50% and applied full power. The airplane drifted to the left and he attempted correct with right rudder until the airplane struck the ground. In his written report, the pilot indicated that there were no mechanical malfunctions or failures of the airplane that led to the accident. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N670P](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N670P), registered now, S/N 1166 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CIRRUS DESIGN CORP SR22 - Registry model: [Cirrus Design SR22](https://openairdocs.org/model/cirrus-design-sr22) (registry code 2130001) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental IO-550 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-io-550-series) (registry code 17042, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 1166 - Year built: 2004 - Airframe hours: 1824 - Engines: Continental IO-550-N 310 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Destroyed - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, October 14, 2024 - Departed: 2MO, Mount Vernon, MO - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: K43, Unionville Muni, runway 17/35, 2,805 × 49 ft, asphalt - Equipment: Stall warning system, ADS-B, Airframe parachute, Angle of attack indicator, Auto-pilot ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.

Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. --- OpenAirDocs.org is an independent research project of [Contrail Labs](https://contraillabs.com/). It is not affiliated with the FAA or the NTSB.
