A Beechcraft B200 Super King Air experienced a significant landing accident at San Carlos de Bariloche International Airport in Argentina. The aircraft landed in poor weather conditions, including low clouds and reduced visibility, resulting in a nose landing and damage to the nose and propellers. The aircraft executed an instrument approach to runway 29 using ILS, and air traffic control did not provide track surface conditions. The crew had visual contact with runway 29 at 270 feet, 32 feet above decision height. The aircraft?s landing configuration involved deploying full flap, which could have influenced control during the flare. The aircraft impacted the runway approximately 1375 meters from the headland, displaced from its axis to the left, and was impacted by snow and ice on the edges of the runway. The left propeller struck the snow bank.A Beechcraft B200 Super King Air experienced a significant landing accident at San Carlos de Bariloche International Airport in Argentina.

Description

A Beechcraft B200 Super King Air suffered substantial damage in a landing accident at San Carlos de Bariloche International Airport in Argentina. The aircraft landed in night time conditions and impacted a snow bank at the edge of the runway. The nose landing gear collapsed, causing the nose and both propellers to impact the runway. Weather at the time of the accident was poor with low clouds at 200 feet and a visibility of 1 to 3 km. Conclusions referring to factors related to the accident – The aircraft performed an instrument approach to runway 29 using ILS. – Airport air traffic control did not inform the aircraft about track surface conditions. – The crew had visual contact with runway 29 at 270 feet, 32 feet above decision height. – After the visual contact with the track, the list of procedures for landing deploying full flap. – The change of configuration to full flap could have been a factor that influenced the control of the aircraft during the flare. – The aircraft contacted runway 29 to approximately 1375 meters from the headland, displaced from the axis to its left. – There were banks of snow and ice on the edges of the rink. Its height was of 1 meter and extended approximately 1.5 meters from the edge of the to the inside. – The left propeller of the aircraft hit the snow bank. – The ARFF was activated at the request of the aircraft crew. went to the scene 7 minutes after being alerted.
