Narrative:A Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet G2 came down in a retention pond shortly after takeoff from runway 25 at Indianapolis Regional Airport, Indiana, after the pilot activated the CAPS rescue parachute of the aircraft.
The pilot reported to the NTSB that the preflight and pretakeoff checks of the airplane were normal and he proceeded to takeoff from runway 25 at the Indianapolis Regional Airport (MQJ), Indiana. After takeoff he retracted the landing gear and flaps and engaged the autopilot. A short time later he received audible and visual gear unsafe warnings followed by the airplane pitching up and a reduction of engine power. The pitch up and reduction of engine power were not commanded by the pilot.
The pilot first attempted to disconnect the autopilot using a press and release of the yoke mounted autopilot disconnect button, followed by pressing and holding the button. He also attempted to disconnect the autothrottle system using the button mounted on the center console. He did not believe that the autopilot or autothrottle systems had disconnected and the airplane continued to pitch up and slow down. He said that the airplane was close to an aerodynamic stall and the left wing dropped. At this time the pilot pulled the handle to deploy the Cirrus Airplane Parachute Systems (CAPS).
The parachute deployed and the airplane drifted down under canopy, and landed in a retention pond in an industrial area about 1,6 km south-west of the departure end of runway 25.
