What happened
During an approach to runway 04, a Beechcraft turbine-powered airplane encountered significant wind activity. As the aircraft attempted to land, it bounced due to gusty crosswind conditions. A second touchdown occurred left of the runway centerline. Upon realizing the aircraft had drifted too far from the center, the crew initiated a go-around procedure. However, because the engines were near idle, there was a delay in power recovery.
Lacking sufficient airspeed during this transition, the aircraft continued to drift left. A wind gust under the right wing forced the left wing into the ground. The aircraft then traveled across a grass field, causing the nose landing gear to collapse before the plane finally came to a rest. The incident resulted in no fatalities, though the aircraft sustained significant damage to its fuselage and left wing.
Findings
At the time of the accident, the automated weather station recorded winds from 110° at 21 knots, with gusts reaching 35 knots. This resulted in a calculated crosswind component between 19 and 33 knots, which exceeded the maximum demonstrated crosswind capability of 25 knots specified in the aircraft flight manual. There were no reported mechanical failures or malfunctions present prior to the event.
