- Date: December 29, 2016
- Aircraft: Piper PA-46 (Malibu/Meridian/Mirage/Matrix/M-Class)
- Location: Nashville-John C. Tune, Tennessee, United States
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: NTSB: The pilot's loss of directional control during the aborted landing in gusting crosswind conditions, which resulted in a runway excursion. The maximum demonstrated crosswind component for the airplane was 17 knots.
A Piper PA 46 350P (N301BK) landed on runway 20 at John C. Tune Airport in Nashville in gusty crosswind conditions. The airplane drifted left during the landing roll, the pilot's go around attempt could not gain enough speed to rotate, and the aircraft left the runway and came to rest in a drainage culvert. Both wings were substantially damaged and no one was injured.
