Accident Summary
The pilot flew a visual flight rules (VFR) approach to Homer Airport under poor weather conditions. After landing on a contaminated runway, the aircraft went out of control, veered off the runway, and came to rest in soft ground. The runway was contaminated with ice, slush, and snow at the time of the accident.
Aircraft and Occupants
The airplane sustained substantial damage and was written off. All five occupants on board were uninjured.
Probable Cause
The official investigation determined the probable cause was the pilot's decision to continue VFR flight into adverse weather conditions despite being qualified for VFR operations only. The pilot misjudged distance, speed, and altitude and failed to initiate a go-around.
