On July 13, 2022, about 1852 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 208B airplane, N877FE, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at the Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), Salt Lake City, Utah. The pilot sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 cargo flight.
The pilot stated that during the flare for landing the airplane encountered a wind-shear, and he was unable to maintain directional control and executed a go-around. He climbed the airplane to about 30 ft above ground level and then encountered a downdraft that pushed the airplane towards the runway. Subsequently, the airplane impacted terrain, off the right side of the runway, in a left-wing low attitude.
A preliminary weather review indicated that the National Weather Service had issued an Airport Weather Warning for the airport, for outflow wind gusts of 26 knots or greater, 35 minutes prior to the accident. Two minutes after the accident, peak wind gusts of 48 knots were reported at the airport.
Preliminary weather radar data indicated that convective activity was observed near the airport during the timeframe of the accident.
The airplane was recovered to a secure facility for future examination.
