NTSB Identification: GAA17CA046
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Sunday, October 23, 2016 in Kirksville, MO
Probable Cause Approval Date: 04/10/2017
Aircraft: CIRRUS SR22, registration: N528HB
Injuries: 2 Uninjured.

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.

The recently certificated pilot reported that, during the initial climb, he heard a whistling noise and noticed that the passenger door was not secured. Subsequently, he returned to the departure airport to secure the door. 

He added that, during the landing flare, he believed that the wind decreased significantly, which resulted in him having “too much right rudder engaged.” The airplane touched down 30° relative to the runway centerline, veered off the runway to the right, and the nose gear collapsed. 
The airplane sustained substantial damage to the firewall. 

The pilot reported that there were no preaccident mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident as follows:

The pilot’s improper compensation for changing wind during the landing flare, which resulted in an off-centered landing and a subsequent loss of directional control.
