A cargo aircraft carrying a fuel truck and nine crew members overran the runway at Saint Paul Island after fishtailing on landing, shearing a wingtip and an engine propeller. All occupants escaped uninjured, but the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.

Incident Details

On a cargo flight from Kodiak to Saint Paul Island, the aircraft was carrying nine crew members and a 19,000-liter fuel truck. The landing was on runway 36. During the landing roll, the aircraft fishtailed twice. The second fishtail caused the right wing to strike the runway surface, shearing off the wingtip and the propeller of engine number 4.

Unable to stop within the remaining runway distance, the aircraft overran the runway. During the overrun, it lost its undercarriage and came to rest a few dozen meters beyond the runway end. All nine occupants exited the aircraft uninjured. The aircraft sustained damage beyond repair.
