Incident Details
The pilot reported that the wind was 90 degrees to the runway (17-35). She began a takeoff on Runway 17 with three passengers aboard, using soft field procedures. Runway 17 had a positive (upslope) grade of 1%, and the first 400 feet of the runway were not available due to slush and puddles. The pilot said she aborted the takeoff when she became concerned that the airplane was not accelerating properly.
Due to poor braking action on loose gravel, she was unable to stop on the remaining runway. Before stopping, the airplane hit a snow berm on the stopway about 10 to 20 feet beyond the departure end and was damaged.
Airport Conditions
The Flight Information Supplement for Alaska cautioned that the Kasigluk Airport was unattended, that the runway conditions were not monitored, and that no airport maintenance was performed during winter months.
