2015 Cirrus SR22 Runway Overrun at Bluegrass Airport (N358CD)

Accident Overview and Flight Details On February 19, 2015, at approximately 1440 Eastern Standard Time, a 2004 Cirrus SR22, registration N358CD, was substantially damaged during a runway overrun at Bluegrass Airport (LEX) in Lexington, Kentucky. The aircraft was operating under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a private cross-country flight to Oakland County International Airport (PTK) in Pontiac, Michigan. The pilot and two passengers were not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan had been filed. The aircraft was a four-seat, low-wing, fixed-gear airplane powered by a 310-horsepower Continental Motors IO-550-N27 reciprocating engine. The most recent annual inspection was completed on December 5, 2014, at 3,700 total airframe hours, which was 14 hours before the accident. The engine had 1,598 hours since its last overhaul, which occurred on December 18, 2009. A 500-hour magneto inspection was performed during the annual inspection, and the ignition harness was replaced with a factory-new unit on August 24, 2009, approximately 100 hours before the engine overhaul. The most recent inspection logbook entry noted that spark plugs were cleaned, gapped, and inspected, but did not reference a service bulletin requiring ignition harness inspection and cleaning, nor did it indicate that the ignition harness spark plug terminals had been cleaned.
