NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn 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. According to automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) information, the airplane departed Creston Municipal Airport (CSQ), Creston, Iowa, at 0736, and flew to LWD. The pilot received flight-following from air traffic control (ATC) until about 14 miles northwest of LWD, an uncontrolled airport. The pilot did not communicate any concerns to ATC prior to leaving the frequency. The last ADS-B information showed the airplane on short final to runway 36 at LWD with a groundspeed of 74 knots. Several witnesses saw the airplane bounce during the landing on runway 36, followed by increase in engine noise “as if just making a touch and go.” Witnesses then observed the airplane bank left, with the left wing tip striking the ground. The airplane then “cartwheeled” and impacted the ground to the left of the runway. A postimpact fire ensued during which the pilot and passenger were not able to egress the airplane. PERSONNEL INFORMATIONThe pilot began flying in 2019. On November 4, 2020, the pilot failed a practical examination for a private pilot certificate that required reexamination for the areas of takeoff, landing, go-around, and navigation. On December 28, 2020, the pilot earned a private pilot certificate flying a Cessna 172. On
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.
