NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On August 22, 2013, about 1050 mountain daylight time, a Cessna TU206F, N922MA, was substantially damaged during landing on runway 10L at Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (BOI), Boise, Idaho. The commercial pilot and the four passengers were uninjured. The backcountry charter flight was operated by McCall Air, and was conducted under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no FAA flight plan was filed for the flight.
According to the pilot, he had flown to Wilson Bar USFS Airport (C48) Dixie, Idaho, to pick up the backcountry passengers and transport them to BOI. The landing at, and departure from, C48 were uneventful, as was the flight to BOI. The approach to and initial touchdown on runway 10L at BOI were uneventful. However, when the pilot lowered the nose gear to the runway, the airplane began to vibrate severely, and the pilot was unable to maintain directional control. The airplane veered left off the paved surface and the nose gear collapsed. The pilot secured the airplane and all persons exited. Examination of the airplane revealed that the right wing contacted the runway. Efforts to locate the nose landing gear scissor link were unsuccessful. The remaining nose landing gear components were retained by the NTSB for examination.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) information indicated that the airplane was manufactured in 1976, and was equipped with a Continental Motors TSIO-520 series engine. FAA information indicated that C48 was equipped with a single dirt/turf runway that measured 1,500 by 50 feet. Runway 10L at BOI was asphalt, and measured 10,000 by 150 feet.
The 1053 BOI automated weather observation included winds from 160 degrees at 10 knots; visibility 10 miles; clear skies; temperature 31 degrees C; dew point 8 degrees C; and an altimeter setting of 29.99 inches of mercury.
