What happened
A commercial certificated pilot was operating an aircraft to transport hunting and camp supplies to a remote location in support of a hunting party. The pilot identified a remote mountain ridge for landing where previous wheel tracks were visible. The aircraft was equipped with tundra tires.
During the landing roll, the pilot applied the brakes. As braking was applied, the large tundra tires began to bounce over the rough terrain. While attempting to avoid excessive braking action, the aircraft overran the intended landing area. During this excursion, the right main tire encountered a depression in the terrain, causing the right wing and propeller to strike the ground.
The investigation
An aircraft mechanic subsequently performed repairs on the aircraft. The maintenance work included repairing the leading edge of the right wing and replacing a wing nose rib.
