Incident Overview
On 29 July 2016, a Cirrus SR22 G3 GT3 aircraft operated by Euro Trans Logistyka sp. z o.o. completed a flight from the airport of the CAMO organization responsible for its maintenance to EPDE airport. Following the flight, maintenance personnel discovered that the lower section of the right wing-fuselage fairing was missing and that the remaining parts of the fairing were damaged.
Damage Description
The missing and damaged fairing components were located and documented in photographs. The extent of the damage rendered the aircraft unairworthy according to the CAMO organization, which subsequently terminated its maintenance contract with the operator.
Investigation Findings
An investigation by the Polish State Commission for Aircraft Accident Investigation (PKBWL) was unable to determine the cause or the time when the damage occurred. No factors contributing to the incident were identified. The pilot, who was the sole occupant, was not injured.
Outcome
The operator ordered a replacement part for the damaged fairing, which was deemed sufficient to restore the aircraft's airworthiness. The PKBWL issued no safety recommendations.
