Analysis
The commercial pilot and his three passengers were on a fishing trip to a remote stream in southwest Alaska. The pilot attempted to land on a beach area near the stream and nosed the airplane over. The airplane was equipped with large 'tundra' tires that the pilot feels adversely affected the airplane's directional control during the landing roll and contributed to the accident.
