NTSB summary
On March 30, 2025, about 1034 eastern daylight time, a Cirrus SR22, N319TM, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Franklin Township, New Jersey. The private pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. According to information from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), an instrument flight rules flight plan was filed for the accident flight, with an intended destination of Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina. Review of Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast data revealed that the flight departed runway 10 at Princeton Airport (39N), Princeton, New Jersey, about 1030. The airplane flew northeast and climbed to an altitude of 1,700 ft mean sea level, before descending in a left circuit to the end of the data. The last target was recorded at 1034:40, indicating an altitude of 475 ft, near the accident site. Review of preliminary FAA air traffic control information revealed that about 1032:45, a controller made radio contact with the airplane when it was approximately 4 miles northeast of 39N. The controller instructed the pilot to “ident,” and the pilot acknowledged the instruction. At 1033:49, the controller instructed the pilot to climb to 3,000 feet and turn right to a heading of 180°; however, the pilot did not reply. At 1034:19, the controller advised the pilot that he was descending and needed to climb, but again received no reply. At 1034:24, the controller contacted the airplane again and asked for a radio check, but no
