THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE AND THE CREW OF 2 AND 6 PASSENGERS RECEIVED MINOR INJURIES. THE TOUCHDOWN POINT WAS ESTIMATED BY SEVERAL WITNESSES TO BE APPROX. 3400 FT FROM THE APPROACH END LEAVING 1200 FT OF RUNWAY TO STOP THE AIRCRAFT.

THE VISIBILITY MINIMUMS FOR THE NON-PRECISION LOCALIZER APPROACH ARE 1 MILE. THE MINIMUM DESCENT ALTITUDE FOR THE APPROACH WAS 492 FT ABOVE THE AIRPORT ELEVATION. THE LAST WEATHER THAT THE PILOT WAS ISSUED WAS INDEFINITE CEILING 100 FT SKY OBSCURED, VISIBILITY 3/4 MILE WITH RAIN AND FOG. A SPECIAL WEATHER OBSERVATION AFTER THE ACCIDENT SHOWED THE ONLY CHANGE TO THE WEATHER WAS AN INCREASE IN VISIBILTIY TO 1 MILE. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N195B](https://openairdocs.org/deregistered/N195B-2013-06-24), registration cancelled 2013-06-24, S/N LW-195, built 1976 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: BEECH E-90 - Registry model: [Beech E-90](https://openairdocs.org/model/beech-e-90) (registry code 1152914) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-60A](https://openairdocs.org/engine/pratt-whitney-canada-pt6a-60a) (registry code 52043, turbo-prop) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: LW-195 - Airframe hours: 4438 - Engines: P&W PT-6A-2B 550 horsepower turbo prop - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Business, Part 91 - Operator: Avco Corp. - Registered owner: Avco Corp. - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: Continuous airworthiness, August 7, 1986, 93 hours before - Departed: BDR, BRIDGEPORT, CT - Flight plan: IFR - Airport: BVY, Beverly Municipal, runway 16, 4,637 × 150 ft, asphalt ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
