## Narrative

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

PILOT STATED AIRCRAFT TOUCHED DOWN (ON MAIN GEAR- SKIS) LANDING TO THE WEST AT SNETTISHAM AIRPORT (7AK2) WITH NORTH WIND OF 9 KTS (RT X WIND). A  STRONG WIND GUST EXPERIENCED FROM SOUTH (LEFT X WIND) AS TAIL SETTLED ONTO RWY SURFACE (ICE OVER FROZEN GRANULAR SNOW). AIRCRAFT IMMEDIATELY VEERED TO LEFT AND EXITED LANDING SURFACE AT SLOW SPEED. FULL RIGHT RUDDER INITIATED BY PIC WAS INEFFECTIVE IN COUNTERING A/C DIRECTIONAL CHANGE INTO WIND. CONTRIBUTING FACTOR: SKIS DID NOT PENETRATE ICY SURFACE.

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.
