Narrative:
On June 1, 2024, about 1218 central daylight time, a Cirrus SR20 airplane, N275RS, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Aitkin, Minnesota. The pilot and a passenger were not injured, and one passenger sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

According to the pilot, during the landing, the airplane touched down, bounced, and the pilot elected to perform a go-around. The pilot reported that the engine did not seem right when he applied full power for the go-around, and the airplane’s climb performance was degraded. At a low altitude, the pilot then activated the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System, and the airplane came rest upright in the vegetation adjacent to the runway.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right wing, and the airplane was retained for further examination.
