On 24 Jul 2016, a CIRRUS DESIGN CORP SR22 NO SERIES was involved in an aviation accident near Hyannis, MA. No fatalities were reported. Investigators recorded the probable cause as: The pilot's failure to maintain an appropriate descent rate during landing, which resulted in a hard landing, followed by a loss of directional control, runway excursion, and an impact with a security fence and vehicles during the subsequent attempt to abort… This summary draws on records from NTSB; 12 related events involving the same aircraft type or operator are linked below.
During landing, a pilot slowed the descent rate to touch down after a runway intersection due to a surface rise. The airplane landed hard, bounced, and during an aborted landing, veered left, colliding with a fence and rental cars, sustaining substantial damage.
Incident Overview
A pilot reported that during the landing phase, she reduced the airplane's rate of descent to achieve touchdown beyond a runway intersection. This decision was influenced by a slight surface rise on the runway that had historically caused bumpy landings.
Hard Landing and Bounce
Upon touchdown, the airplane experienced a hard landing and subsequently bounced approximately four feet into the air. The pilot then applied full power to abort the landing.
Loss of Control and Collision
During the aborted landing, the pilot was unable to regain sufficient airspeed. The airplane veered off the runway centerline to the left. It then collided with a security fence and airport rental cars, resulting in substantial damage to both wings and the fuselage.
Mechanical Status
The pilot reported that there were no pre-impact mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.
