Analysis
On December 11, 2005, at 1547 Pacific standard time, a Cessna TP206A, N2697X, sustained substantial damage when it impacted a fence and encountered a ditch during a runway overrun on landing at Harvey Field Airport, Snohomish, Washington. The commercial pilot, the sole occupant, received minor injuries. The airplane was registered to and operated by Skydive Snohomish. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the local skydiving flight conducted under 14 CFR Part 91. The flight departed Harvey Field about 1530.
According to the pilot, she dropped her load of skydivers and was coming in for a landing on runway 14. She "could see fog rolling in fast" and knew she "had to get...on the ground." She "landed at a higher speed which is normally fine but because of the runway conditions, which were slick, [she] had minimal braking and ran out of runway." The airplane overran the runway, struck a fence and came to rest in a ditch.
