Aircraft involved

Probable cause & findings

The failure of the driver of an all terrain vehicle to maintain adequate visual lookout while maneuvering on the ramp, which resulted in a collision with the parked accident airplane's elevator.

Factual narrative

The commercial certificated pilot had concluded the first leg of a Title 14, CFR Part 135 cross-country flight between various remote villages. The pilot parked the airplane and unloaded three of the five passengers. The two remaining passengers stayed onboard before continuing on to the next village. While parked, the airplane's right elevator was struck by a villager's sled that was being pulled by an all terrain vehicle. The airplane sustained substantial damage to the right elevator assembly.
