Narrative:
12 June 2024: Cirrus SR-22T G-GWOW sustained siginifcant damage in a takeoff incident (high speed runway excursion) at Gloucestershire Airport, Churchdown, Gloucestershire. The incident was the subject of an AAIB Record only investigation, published on 12 December 2024, and the following is the summary from the AAIB Report:

"The aircraft was being collected by its owner to be flown back to Turweston Aerodrome (EGBT) from Gloucestershire Airport (GLO/EGBJ). During the takeoff run, at approximately 65 knots, the aircraft rapidly slewed to the left which the pilot was unable to correct. It then ran off the runway into the grass where the pilot brought the aircraft to a stop. Whilst transiting the grass near the edge of the runway, the aircraft struck an airfield sign which resulted in damage to the aircraft wing".

Damage Sustained to aircraft
Per the AAIB report "damage to the aircraft wing". The severity of the damage sustained was not noted in the AAIB Report. However, the AirNav RadBox website (see link #4) notes that G-GWOW has not flown since this incident. As the airframe is fairly new, it may be repaired and returned to service. On the other hand, the Certificate of Airworthiness/Permit to Fly expired on 14 August 2024 and has not been renewed so far
