NTSB narrative
During landing, the main landing gear touched down to the right of the runway centerline. The airplane bounced twice on the runway and began to veer left. The left wing dragged through the grass on the left side of the runway and the airplane continued into a drainage ditch. The airplane came to rest upright after it impacted the ditch; a postimpact fire ensued and consumed most of the fuselage. The wings and empennage sustained some fire damage and were mostly intact. Federal Aviation Administration inspectors and a Cirrus investigator provided on-scene assistance to ensure that the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) rocket motor was safely disarmed. The pilot stated that after the airplane bounced on the runway, he attempted to go around but the airplane did not respond to his aileron control inputs; he then lost control of the airplane.
Probable cause
The pilot's loss of control during an attempted go-around following a multiple bounce landing

- Unreviewed is an editorial label, not an investigation status. API-sourced is not report-checked or human-reviewed. Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: investigation status. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
