Narrative:

We reached decision ht obtaining only the approach lights, which allowed us to descend 100 ft above touchdown zone. A few feet before reaching the mark of 100 ft above touchdown zone we obtained the runway environment in sight. At that time we proceeded to land. Approximately 2 seconds later after touchdown, the nose of the aircraft started to pull to the right. Appropriate attempts to correct the direction of the airplane were implemented. The aircraft continued a right tendency turn coming to a stop on the right edge of the runway. The aircraft was properly secured and an expeditious evacuate/evacuation was performed. Final damage to the airplane was a severed blade from the right hub, which impacted the right side of the fuselage. Contributing factors included the uneven plowing of the runway. After touchdown the right main landing gear encountered a much higher amount of snow than the left main, making the plane turn to the right. Area cleared on the runway and was about 3-5 inches high. (Only from the center of the runway to some ft out.) area outside of the center of the runway was 12-15 inches high.

Title: ACR FLC EXPERIENCES LOSS OF ACFT CTL WHILE LNDG AT ESC. PROP DAMAGE RESULTS DUE TO IMPACT WITH SNOW.

Narrative: WE REACHED DECISION HT OBTAINING ONLY THE APCH LIGHTS, WHICH ALLOWED US TO DSND 100 FT ABOVE TOUCHDOWN ZONE. A FEW FEET BEFORE REACHING THE MARK OF 100 FT ABOVE TOUCHDOWN ZONE WE OBTAINED THE RWY ENVIRONMENT IN SIGHT. AT THAT TIME WE PROCEEDED TO LAND. APPROX 2 SECONDS LATER AFTER TOUCHDOWN, THE NOSE OF THE ACFT STARTED TO PULL TO THE R. APPROPRIATE ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE DIRECTION OF THE AIRPLANE WERE IMPLEMENTED. THE ACFT CONTINUED A R TENDENCY TURN COMING TO A STOP ON THE R EDGE OF THE RWY. THE ACFT WAS PROPERLY SECURED AND AN EXPEDITIOUS EVAC WAS PERFORMED. FINAL DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE WAS A SEVERED BLADE FROM THE R HUB, WHICH IMPACTED THE R SIDE OF THE FUSELAGE. CONTRIBUTING FACTORS INCLUDED THE UNEVEN PLOWING OF THE RWY. AFTER TOUCHDOWN THE R MAIN LNDG GEAR ENCOUNTERED A MUCH HIGHER AMOUNT OF SNOW THAN THE L MAIN, MAKING THE PLANE TURN TO THE R. AREA CLRED ON THE RWY AND WAS ABOUT 3-5 INCHES HIGH. (ONLY FROM THE CTR OF THE RWY TO SOME FT OUT.) AREA OUTSIDE OF THE CTR OF THE RWY WAS 12-15 INCHES HIGH.
