NTSB summary
HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn September 27, 2024, about 1010 mountain daylight time, a Cirrus SR22 airplane, N831AZ, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Provo, Utah. The pilot and pilot-rated passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot had entered the right downwind leg of the traffic pattern at Provo Municipal Airport (PVU), Provo, Utah, and was cleared by the tower controller to land on runway 13 after he acknowledged seeing another airplane on final approach ahead of him. After crossing the runway threshold, the pilot performed a go-around after the controller instructed him to go around because of an airplane on the runway, and he reentered the right downwind leg. Near the turn to the base leg for runway 13, the airplane descended in a nose-down attitude and impacted the water. Air Traffic Control (ATC) communications showed that as the accident airplane was initially approaching the airport, the tower controller instructed the pilot, if he was able, to extend the downwind leg of the traffic pattern to enter a 4-mile right base for another airplane that was on a 2-mile final approach. The pilot confirmed that he was able to extend the downwind leg. Fourteen seconds later, the controller asked the pilot if he had the other airplane in sight. The pilot replied, “Report what in sight?” The controller clarified, “The Sport Cruiser on a 2-mile final in sight.” The pilot replied that he did not see the airplane but was looking. Soon after, the pilot said he had the airplane in
Probable cause
The pilot's exceedance of the airplane’s critical angle of attack while maneuvering for landing, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and loss of control.
