Date & Time: 01/24/2018, 1220 AKS

Aircraft: DEHAVILLAND BEAVER DHC 2
Injuries: 1 None
Flight Conducted Under: Part 135: Air Taxi & Commuter - Non-scheduled
On January 24, 2018, about 1220 Alaska standard time, a DeHavilland DHC-2 airplane, N1544, sustained substantial damage following a loss of directional control while landing on an unimproved airstrip, near Kazakof Bay on Afognak Island, Alaska. The airplane was registered to and operated by Andrew Airways Incorporated as a 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 visual flight rules flight. The commercial pilot sustained no injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and company flight following procedures were in effect. The flight departed Kodiak Airport (PADQ), Kodiak, Alaska about 1200 for the roughly 23 nautical mile flight to Kazakof Bay.
According to the pilot, after overflying the unimproved airstrip, he landed to the west into an estimated 7 knot wind. The touchdown was normal, however when he applied the brakes during the ground roll, the airplane "veered hard to the right." The airplane departed the right side of the airstrip, collided with alder bushes and small spruce trees, and came to rest against a dirt embankment. The right main landing gear separated from the gear box which resulted in substantial damage to the fuselage.
The closest official weather observation station is PADQ. At 1153, a METAR was reporting, in part, wind 280° at 16 knots, gusting 32 knots; visibility 10 statute miles; clouds and ceiling clear; temperature 21° F; dew point 5° F; altimeter 29.76 inches of Mercury.
