THE LEFT WING TIP DRAGGED ON THE RUNWAY SURFACE NEAR THE POINT THAT THE AIRCRAFT LEFT THE RUNWAY.  THE NOSE GEAR BROKE AFT AND TO THE RIGHT, AND THE LEFT MAIN GEAR LOCK BROKE AND THE LEG FOLDED BACK WHEN THEY HIT THE SNOW BANK AT THE EDGE OF THE RUNWAY.  THE AIRCRAFT HAD DEPARTED PAGE, AZ ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN TO SANTA FE.  THE PILOT, ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^, AN ASEL, AMEL AND INSTRUMENT RATED PRIVATE PILOT CANCELED HIS CLEARANCE APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES FROM THE AIRPORT, WHEN HE HAD IT IN SIGHT.  VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS PREVAILED AT THE TIME.  RUNWAY 20 HAD A FEW PATCHES OF ICE AND SNOW REMAINING BUT WAS MOSTLY CLEAN AND DRY.

## The NTSB's investigation of this event (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
