Narrative:A Beechcraft 1900C, registration C-FPCO, sustained substantial damage in a landing accident at Blue River Airport, BC, Canada. There were no injuries.
Pacific Coastal Airlines was on an IFR flight from Vancouver to Blue River. The IFR clearance was cancelled at 9000 feet ASL, above the airport and a VFR approach to runway 19 was carried out. After the aircraft touched down on the 60 foot wide runway, directional control was lost. The aircraft skidded sideways and departed the runway to the left and collided nose first with a large snow bank. The nose wheel collapsed, both propellers were damaged and there is possible damage to the right hand main gear.
