Aviation Investigation Report: Loss of Engine Power due to Excessive Fuel Flow in Cirrus SR22T Aircraft
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has identified six accidents involving Cirrus SR22T airplanes in which an excessive fuel condition led to a loss of engine power during the takeoff climb. This report is providing information to urge Cirrus Aircraft and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to take action on the safety recommendations in this report. They are derived from previous investigations of Cirrus SR22T accidents in which excessive fuel introduced to the engine during takeoff climb led to engine power loss. NTSB's examination of these investigations suggests a lack of system safety assessments to identify the cause and reduce the potential of the hazard from occurring. The NTSB is issuing one safety recommendation to Cirrus and one safety recommendation to the FAA.
