NTSB Narrative Summary Released at Completion of Accident
On March 8, 2014, about 1330 mountain daylight time, a Peter W Stevens Bearhawk, N123WW, had a runway excursion during the landing roll at South Valley Regional Airport, Salt Lake City, Utah. The owner/pilot was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The commercial pilot was not injured; the airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing. The cross-country personal flight departed Bountiful, Utah, at an undetermined time. Visual meteorological conditions (VMC) prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed.
The pilot reported to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector that he landed on runway 34. He observed five Blawkhawk helicopters hovering in formation on taxiway Bravo. The airplane had slowed to 10-15 miles per hour as it came abeam the helicopters. The pilot said that the left side of the airplane encountered a sudden blast of air, and the left wing lifted. The airplane spun hard to the right, exited the runway into a dirt area, and stopped facing 180 degrees in the opposite direction. The left wing tip struck the ground during the excursion, and sustained substantial damage.
