Accident & incident history

2008-02-04 Accident · Parowan, UT Damage: Substantial NTSB · SEA08LA069
Reported aircraft: Piper PA-32R-301T
Probable cause: The pilot's improper in-flight decision not to over fly/inspect the snow covered runway prior to landing, and his failure to align the airplane over the centerline of the runway. Contributing to the accident was the snow covered runway, the airport operator's failure to properly plow and clear the runway, and hidden obstructions (previously plowed snow) under the freshly fallen snow.
