14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Tuesday, September 16, 2014 in Longville, MN
Probable Cause Approval Date: 10/20/2014
Aircraft: CIRRUS DESIGN CORP SR22, registration: N6081K
Injuries: 2 Serious.
NTSB investigators used data provided by various entities, including, but not limited to, the Federal Aviation Administration and/or the operator and did not travel in support of this investigation to prepare this aircraft accident report.
During landing, the main landing gear touched down to the right of the runway centerline. The airplane bounced twice on the runway and began to veer left. The left wing dragged through the grass on the left side of the runway and the airplane continued into a drainage ditch. The airplane came to rest upright after it impacted the ditch; a postimpact fire ensued and consumed most of the fuselage. The wings and empennage sustained some fire damage and were mostly intact. Federal Aviation Administration inspectors and a Cirrus investigator provided on-scene assistance to ensure that the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) rocket motor was safely disarmed. The pilot stated that after the airplane bounced on the runway, he attempted to go around but the airplane did not respond to his aileron control inputs; he then lost control of the airplane.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
The pilot's loss of control during an attempted go-around following a multiple bounce landing

An airplane crashed at 12:53 p.m. Tuesday at the Longville Municipal Airport, according to the Cass County's Sheriff's Department, resulting in non life-threatening injuries.
Longville Fire Chief John Welk said the airplane was fully engulfed in fire, but the pilot, his passenger and their dog were already outside of the aircraft when the fire department arrived.
"Both were alert and responsive at the time. The plane was a total loss. The fire department was out there for a pretty long time trying to get it out with the avgas," said Christina Herheim, Longville clerk/treasurer and airport manager.
"The woman had two non life-threatening injuries and the male appeared to be fine and standing up. We proceeded to put out the fire and block off the area and call the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration)," Welk said.
An ambulance, housed at the municipal airport, responded quickly and transported them to Essentia Health-St. Joseph's Medical Center in Brainerd.
The pilot and passenger, whose names were not released, are from Denison, Iowa. The airport was closed for cleanup and investigation, but was to reopen.
Cass County Sheriff's Office deputies, Longville police, Longville Ambulance and Longville Fire Department responded to the scene. The plane crash investigation was turned over to the FAA.
