Incident Overview
A flight from Boston-Logan International Airport concluded with a runway excursion at Gainesville Airport after landing in marginal weather conditions associated with Tropical Storm Colin. The aircraft, carrying three occupants, was damaged beyond repair.
Events During Descent and Landing
The crew initiated a descent to Gainesville Airport following an otherwise uneventful flight. Weather conditions at the destination were described as marginal due to the presence of Tropical Storm Colin over the area. After touching down on a wet runway, the aircraft rolled for approximately 1,000 feet before veering off the runway to the left.
Ground Impact and Damage
Upon leaving the runway, the aircraft contacted soft ground, causing the left main landing gear and the nose gear to collapse. The aircraft subsequently came to rest in a grassy area. The damage sustained rendered the aircraft beyond economical repair.
Occupant Safety
All three occupants on board evacuated the aircraft safely. No injuries were reported in the source.
Investigation
The National Transportation Safety Board did not conduct an investigation into the event. As a result, no official probable cause has been determined.
