Incident Details
An air taxi pilot was flying cargo to a remote village located near the sea. The pilot reported navigating by following the coastline, with the ocean on his right and the shore and rising terrain on his left.
As the pilot approached the destination, weather conditions began to deteriorate with lowering clouds, drizzle, and fog. While attempting to decide which direction to turn to avoid the clouds, he entered the clouds and subsequently struck rising terrain.
After the collision, local villagers on snow machines arrived and rescued the pilot. The pilot's condition was not specified in the report.
