Accident & incident history

1999-02-06 Accident · Gaylord, MI Damage: Substantial NTSB · CHI99LA086
Reported aircraft: Beechcraft 58 — a different aircraft that carried the N58AK registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: the pilot not obtaining proper runway centerline alignment during landing. Associated factors were the pilot's obscured view through the iced windshield, the runway lights not activating simultaneously with the approach lights, incomplete visual detection of the runway environment and no notice to airmen of the reduced reception of the runway light receiver.
