On March 16, 2024, about 1530 eastern daylight time, a Cirrus SR22, N469GB was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Reidsville, Georgia. The private pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot stated that he departed St Simons Island Airport (SSI), St Simons Island, Georgia with an intended destination of W H 'Bud' Barron Airport (DBN), Dublin, Georgia, which was his home airport. During takeoff, climb and initial cruise portion of the flight, all of the engine parameters and the airplane performance was normal. About 30 minutes into the flight, without warning, the engine made a “loud noise” and stopped producing power. This was immediately followed by oil spraying onto the windscreen. The pilot established best glide speed and declared an emergency. He turned left and flew toward a diversion airport that was about 10 nm away but realized that there was no way the airplane would reach it.
As the airplane descended through 4,500 ft mean sea level (msl) he noticed that there was no suitable place to land. The entire area was hilly and covered with pine trees. When the airplane descended through 2,500 ft msl, he deployed the whole airframe parachute system. The system arrested the descent immediately above the pine trees; it settled down between several trees in a nose low attitude and was held upright by the parachute lines and canopy that was caught up in the trees. The pilot and passenger egressed the airplane without injury.
The wreckage was recovered from the accident site retained for further examination.
