Incident Overview
A pilot landing on a 1000-foot airstrip encountered a parked pickup truck on the runway. The airstrip had been plowed to two-thirds of its width for its entire length. The pilot reported that braking action was nil and that he was unable to stop before reaching the truck.
Sequence of Events
According to the pilot, he attempted to complete the landing rollout by maneuvering between the parked pickup truck and a snowbank. During this maneuver, the airplane's right wing struck the pickup truck, and the left horizontal stabilizer struck the snowbank. The pilot was landing uphill because the airstrip is considered one-way in and one-way out.
Runway Conditions
The airstrip was plowed to two-thirds of its width, leaving a snowbank along one side. The pilot described the braking action as nil, indicating no effective deceleration on the runway surface.
