Aircraft Accident/Incident Report

Snohomish, Washington 98296
Sunday, December 11, 2005 15:47 PST

NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident

According to the pilot, she dropped her load of skydivers and was coming in for a landing. She "could see fog rolling in fast" and knew she "had to get...on the ground." She "landed at a higher speed which is normally fine but because of the runway conditions, which were slick, [she] had minimal braking and ran out of runway." The airplane overran the runway, struck a fence and came to rest in a ditch.

NTSB Probable Cause Narrative

The pilot's higher than normal airspeed on landing which resulted in a runway overrun. Contributing factors were the fog and the wet runway surface.
