The defining event best describes what happened. - [Landing-aborted after touchdown: Loss of control on ground](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/230) (defining event); cases with it: [Cirrus Design SR22, 32 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/230/sequence.md?model=2130001), [All aircraft, 4,585 cases](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb-events/230/sequence.md) ## Analysis The pilot was approaching the destination airport for landing. He described that while on final approach, the airplane crossed the runway numbers at an indicated airspeed of 88 knots with full flaps extended. During the landing roll, the pilot pitched the nose up to alleviate a “shaking” of the nose landing gear. The nose landing gear lifted from the runway, and the airplane then landed hard and bounced. The pilot applied full power and right rudder to abort the landing. The airplane lifted off but then descended back to the runway and veered left. The airplane exited the left side of the runway and the nose landing gear collapsed as the airplane traversed a taxiway. The airplane impacted rocks and came to rest next to a retention pond. The airplane’s wings and empennage sustained substantial damage during the accident sequence. The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N771SL](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N771SL), registered now, S/N 1405, built 2005 (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: 1405 - Year built: 2005 - Airframe hours: 3694.7 - Engines: Continental Motors IO-550 N43B 310 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Personal, Part 91 - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Annual, February 1, 2025, 22 hours before - Departed: CGE, Cambridge, MD - Destination: Same as departure - Airport: W29, Bay Bridge, runway 29, 2,714 × 60 ft, asphalt - Equipment: Electronic primary flight display, Satellite tracking device, Stall warning system, ADS-B, Electronic multifunction display, Airframe parachute, Auto-pilot ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.

After the aircraft touched down on runway 29, the PIC kept control yoke slightly nose up. PIC felt nose gear lift and starting to bounce. PIC decided to… From the NTSB's public API. 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.
