Accident · substantial damage
Jan 31, 1994 · Anderson, IN
the pilot in command's inadequate remedial action after a loss of directional control during the takeoff ground roll. Related factors are the copilot's failure to maintain directional control, and the snow covered, icy runway.
These match the airframe or engine model. Whether each one applies, and whether it's been complied with, depends on serial numbers, equipment and logbook entries. Applicability must be confirmed by a mechanic against the aircraft's records.
No ADs published since 1998 matched this airframe or engine model.
AI-extracted — verify against original. Matched from each AD's applicability section; ADs replaced by a later AD are left out.
