Cirrus down at PVU 9/27 16:00Z

Early indications are a stall in the pattern after a go around. They may of pulled the chute very late, ended up in 8.5’ of water. Two on board.
 
ADS-B makes it look like they tucked in close behind another, slower arrival and went around. Go around was normal at first. They got up to around 115 groundspeed on downwind, the. started slowing midfield downwind but stayed at pattern alt until just before base, while the groundspeed bled to 80kts. The spin occurred just after the base turn. There wasn’t much altitude lost before that, maybe 100-150’ from when the base started to the loss of signal.

Weather was clear and calm.
 
Tapes seem to indicate a bit of confusion on initial approach to airport call and started going south from there. Re; ATC Live 16:00-16:15 Z 9/27
 
Tragic. Looks as if the pilot left behind a widow and 4 children.
Flight track from St George is consistent with autopilot. I assume an SR-22 has flight director mode on the g1000, and if engaged, will give an audible airspeed warning? Is that correct?

This was a very very early Cirrus. No perspective. Not sure if those old birds had a flight director.

Wow. Serial number 3.
Wikipedia says steam gauges and 10” mfd display.
