NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn June 6, 2023, about 1352 eastern daylight time, a Cirrus SR22T, Canadian registration C-GNMT, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Jamestown, New York. The two Canadian-certificated pilots were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight. According to witnesses, the pilot in the left seat owned the accident airplane and brokered other airplanes. Additionally, the pilot in the left seat was preparing for an instrument rating practical examination, scheduled for the following week. The pilot in the right seat was providing instruction for the upcoming examination. The purpose of the accident trip was a combination of training and to work on exporting another airplane for sale in the United States. That airplane was at Chautauqua County/Jamestown Airport (JHW), Jamestown, New York. Earlier during the day of the accident, the pilots flew the accident airplane from Waterloo International Airport (CYKF), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, to JHW. The accident occurred during the return flight to CYKF. According to ADS-B data and witnesses, the accident airplane departed at 1341 and performed one touch-and-go landing on runway 31. Runway 31 was 4,449 ft-long, 100 ft-wide, and consisted of asphalt. During the initial climb after the second touch-and-go landing on runway 31, about midfield at 100 to 200 feet above ground level, the airplane banked steeply left, leveled, then banked right, followed by deployment of the Cirrus Aircraft Parachute System (CAPS). The airplane subsequently
Probable cause
The pilots’ failure to maintain airplane control following an anomalous engine indication during the initial climb, which resulted in a loss of control and parachute deployment at an altitude too low for the system to operate effectively. Contributing to the accident was an exceedance of engine manifold air pressure for reasons that could not be determined based on the available evidence.
