Accident Overview
On October 14, 2014, at about 1600 mountain daylight time, a Beech H35, registration N647Q, collided with a hangar after a runway excursion at Skypark Airport in Bountiful, Utah. The pilot/owner was operating the airplane under 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91. The airline transport pilot was not injured. The airplane sustained substantial damage.
Flight Details
The cross-country personal flight originated from Alpine, Wyoming, around 1500 MDT, with a planned destination of Bountiful. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed. During the return flight, the pilot experienced electrical power issues and manually lowered the landing gear. He overflew the runway twice before landing on runway 34.
Accident Sequence
A Federal Aviation Administration inspector examined the accident site and interviewed the pilot. The airplane touched down on the runway centerline and traveled 482 feet before exiting the runway surface. A visual examination of the 4,700-foot-long runway revealed no skid marks or other indications of braking attempts. After departing the runway, the aircraft struck a runway light with its landing gear. It continued approximately 3,000 feet through a grass median and across a taxiway, striking a sign, a gate post, and a hangar. There were no indications of braking throughout the runway excursion. No examination of the airframe was conducted.
Weather
An automated surface weather observation at Salt Lake City International Airport, approximately 5 miles southwest of the accident site, was issued 7 minutes before the accident. It indicated wind from 170 degrees at 4 knots, visibility 10 miles or greater, few clouds at 13,000 feet, temperature 23 degrees C, dew point -1 degrees C, and an altimeter setting of 30.02 inches of mercury.
Aftermath
The pilot failed to submit a pilot/operator aircraft accident report, NTSB Form 6120.1.
