## Narrative

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

THE PILOT LOST CONTROL OF THE CESSNA 207 AIRCRAFT UPON LANDING AT THE GRANGEVIILLE, IDAHO AIRPORT (GIC).  THIS PARTICULAR FLIGHT WAS CONDUCTED UNDER FAR PART 135 CARRYING FREIGHT FOR UPS.WEATHER AND AIRCRAFT AIRWORTHINESS WERE NOT A FACTOR IN THIS ACCIDENT. WHEN QUESTIONED AT THE ACCIDENT SITE, THE PILOT REPLIED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW THE WEIGHT OF THE FRIEGHT THAT UPS HAD PROVIDED IN LEWISTON, IDAHO (LWS) PRIOR TO TAKE-OFF.  HE ESTIMATED THE WEIGHT TO BE "ABOUT 800 POUNDS".  THE ACTUAL WEIGHT WAS APPROXIMATELY 323 POUNDS.
