Accident Description
During the landing roll on a 150-foot-wide runway covered with patchy snow, a twin-engine airplane began to drift to the right. The pilot reported that when he applied power to the right engine, it did not respond as anticipated. He then lifted the tail wheel off the runway with the intention of executing a go-around. However, by the time the tail was airborne, the aircraft had already departed the right edge of the runway.
Pilot Statement
The pilot stated that as the airplane left the runway, snow began coming over the nose. During this time, both engines were hesitating. The aircraft exited the runway edge at an approximate 45-degree angle into snow that was between 8 and 12 inches deep. Once clear of the runway, the airplane's tire tracks paralleled the runway edge for about 400 feet before the airplane nosed down and skidded an additional 25 feet.
Aftermath
Following the incident, packed snow was observed in both engines' air intakes. No further details regarding the aircraft, occupants, or extent of damage were provided in the source.
