PILOT STATED THAT THE AIRCRAFT SKIDDED TO THE RIGHT ON A PATCH OF ICE JUST AFTER LANDING FROM THE ILS IAP TO MSO RWY 11, AND SWERVED TO THE SIDELINE OF THE RUNWAY WHERE THE PROPELLER STRUCK A LANDING LIGHT. HE SAID HE THEN REGAINED CONTROL AND RETURNED TO THE CENTER OF THE RUNWAY AND TAXIIED TO THE RAMP WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. TWO BLADES OF THE RIGHT PROPELLER WERE DAMAGED, AND ONE RUNWAY EDGE LIGHT WAS BROKEN. (NOTE: AIRCRAFT INSPECTED AT MSO ON 12/05/02 TO CONFIRM "INCIDENT" STATUS)

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
