What happened
A pilot, who is an employee of the FAA's Airways Facilities Branch, was flying to a remote airport to perform work on the FAA's VOR building. Prior to the flight, the pilot noted a weather report indicating winds of 060 degrees at eight knots. Upon approaching the airport, the pilot visually inspected the windsock; while the frame appeared oriented toward 150 degrees, the tail of the sock was blowing at an angle, suggesting winds of 060 degrees at 10 knots with gusts to 15 knots.
The pilot landed on runway 33, touching down at the approach end of the runway. Due to an icy runway surface, the aircraft was blown to the left approximately 300 feet after touchdown. The pilot was unable to correct the drift, causing the airplane to depart the left side of the runway and enter an area of soft snow. The impact caused the airplane to nose over, resulting in damage to the wings and vertical stabilizer. No injuries were reported.
According to the Alaska supplement airport facility directory, the airport is unattended and the runway condition is not monitored. The directory also notes that the airport experiences frequent crosswinds and that the windsock at the south end of the airport is damaged and not functioning properly.
