Read the full NTSB narrative

On October 2, 2025, at 1126 central daylight time, a Cirrus SR22, N812SE, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Talladega, Alabama. The commercial pilot sustained minor injuries, and the two passengers were not injured. The airplane was being operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The flight originated from Birmingham–Shuttlesworth International Airport, Birmingham, Alabama, and was destined for Talladega Municipal Airport (ASN), Talladega, Alabama. According to the pilot, after departure he climbed to 3,500 ft., mean sea level (msl). While descending toward ASN, he advanced the throttle, but the engine did not respond. He attempted to restore power; however, engine power did not increase. The pilot reported that the airplane’s altitude was below the minimum required for Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) deployment, so he configured the airplane for a glide and performed a forced landing to an open field about 7 nautical miles west of ASN. During the landing roll, the airplane struck an agricultural irrigation pivot, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing and right engine cowling. The airplane was recovered and retained for further examination.
