A Cessna 207 operated by Flight Alaska, Inc. collided with a river embankment during a landing approach to Tuntutuliak Airport, Alaska. The gravel runway is 1,772 feet long and is located at the edge of a river. Conditions were reported to be VFR, but as the pilot was attempting to land, rain and mist moved over the area reducing visibility to about one-quarter mile. This was the pilot's fourth landing attempt. The pilot received minor injuries; however, the aircraft received structural damage to the landing gear, fuselage and wings.
Flight Display Systems has introduced an innovative solution for adding cockpit panel space where none exists. The "Flipper" is a thin, small five-inch LCD that installs easily on most existing glareshields and flips into position when needed. When not in use the display flips to a horizontal stowed position using one-half inch of visual panel space. The screen can be viewed in the cockpit by both pilots. Sierra Industries has started an STC for the Flipper installation and a Flight Display Systems patent is pending.
