On July 1, 2021, about 0755 central daylight time, a Cirrus SR22 airplane, N123RE, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident at Lamoni Municipal Airport (LWD), Lamoni, Iowa. The private pilot and passenger sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot flew a visual approach to the airport, where several witnesses observed the airplane bounce on the runway then heard an increase in engine power, consistent with the pilot’s attempt to initiate a go-around. The airplane banked left, with the left-wing tip striking the ground. It then cartwheeled and impacted the ground to the left of the runway. A postimpact fire ensued, and the pilot and passenger were not able to egress the airplane.
Postaccident examinations of the airplane revealed no evidence of preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures that would preclude normal operation. The airplane’s flaps were found in the retracted position. The airplane’s acute left bank during the attempted go-around was consistent with the pilot’s insufficient right rudder control to counter the airplane’s left-turning tendency associated with the increased engine power.
Probable Cause: The pilot did not maintain aircraft control during an attempted go-around after a bounced landing, which resulted in impact with terrain and a postimpact fire.
