## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) DURING TRANSITION TO LANDING FOLLOWING AN IMC APPROACH IN ICING CONDITIONS WITH A RIGHT CROSSWIND, THE AIRCRAFT ENCOUNTERED A STRONG GUST FROM THE RIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 50FT. THIS CAUSED A MOMENTARY ROLL TO THE LEFT THAT DISPLACED THE AIRCRAFT TO THE LEFT OF RUNWAY CENTERLINE. A ROLL TO THE RIGHT WAS INITIATED TO COUNTER THE GUST AND ATTEMPT TO RE-ESTABLISH RUNWAY CENTERLINE. FOLLOWING TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRCRAFT EXITED THE RUNWAY TO THE LEFT. IT CONTINUED AT APPROXIMATELY A FIVE DEGREE ANGLE FROM THE RUNWAY UNTIL HITTING TWO DITCHES, THE SECOND OF WHICH CAUSED THE LANDING GEAR TO COLLAPSE. A SIGNIFICANT RIGHT GUSTING CROSSWIND, POOR VISIBILITY, AN ICY RUNWAY, AND A REDUCED HORIZONTAL FIELD OF VIEW DUE TO ICE ACCUMULATION ON THE WINDSCREEN WERE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS.

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.
