Read the full NTSB narrative

On December 12, 2025, about 1431 central standard time, a Sonerai II airplane, registration N28MD, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Cresson, Texas. The pilot was seriously injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. The pilot reported that he had just completed a high-speed pass down the runway and was turning downwind when the engine began to sound and act abnormally. The rpm gauge was fluctuating. The pilot immediately turned towards the runway and performed an emergency landing. The airplane overran the runway and went into a ravine where it struck a tree which resulted in substantial damage to the wing and fuselage. The airplane will be recovered and retained for further examination.
