## Narrative

PILOT STATED THAT THE FLIGHT DEPARTED MIDWAY AIRPORT (MDW) FOR QUAD CITIES AIRPORT (MLI).  PURPOSE OF THE FLIGHT WAS TO REPOSITION THE AIRPLANE.HE REQUESTED AND WAS CLEARED FOR THE RNAV (GPS) 27 APPROACH.  WHILE OUTSIDE THE INITIAL APPROACH FIX (TATNE) HE ENCOUNTERED PRECIPITATON WHICH CAUSED A TRACE ACCUMULATION OF ICE.  THERE WAS EVIDENCE OF ICE ACCUMULATION ON THE WINDSHIELD.  WIND WAS REPORTED AS CALM BY THE CONTROL TOWER.  THE PILOT STATED THAT HE ELECTED TO TOUCH DOWN TO THE RIGHT OF THE CENTER LINE BECAUSE THAT AREA APPEARED TO HAVE THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SNOW PATCHES.  AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE AIRPLANE VEERED FIRST TO THE LEFT, THEN UNCONTROLLABLY TO THE RIGHT.  IT CONTACTED A SNOW BANK AND FLIPPED OVER.THE PILOT STATED THAT IT SEEMED TO HIM THAT THE AIRPLANE WAS "FISHTAILING".  HE BELIEVES THAT THE LEFT TIRE HAD TOUCHED DOWN ON BARE PAVEMENT AND THE RIGHT TIRE HAD TOUCHED DOWN ON SNOW AND THAT THIS CAUSED THE INITIAL SWERVE TO THE LEFT.  HE ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE LEFT SWERVE AND ENCOUNTERED THE UNCONTROLLABLE RIGHT SWERVE.AUDIO RECORDING FROM THE TOWER SHOWS THAT PRIOR TO THIS LANDING SEVERAL PLANES HAD LANDED, BUT THEY HAD LANDED ON RUNWAY 9, A 10,000 FOOT RUNWAY.THE PILOT WAS GIVEN COUNSELING ON ICING AND WINTER RUNWAY OPERATIONS.
