Aircraft involved
Factual narrative
On July 23, 2025, about 1700 Alaska daylight time, a Cessna 210-5 (205) airplane, N8457Z, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident on a remote beach about 50 miles southeast of Yakutat, Alaska. The pilot was uninjured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 135 on demand charter flight. The airplane was being operated by Yakutat Air, transporting a load of fresh fish from a remote beach site to Yakutat. According to the pilot, while departing from the wet, soft, sand-covered beach site, the airplane didn’t seem like it was accelerating as it should have been. He said that after takeoff the airplane traveled for about 100 ft before the right wing stalled, and the main landing gear wheel struck the sand-covered beach. Subsequently, the airplane bounced, and the right main landing gear contacted a piece of driftwood before being pulled sideways, resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage, wings, and empennage (see figure 1).

He stated that the available takeoff space on the beach was 1,500 ft. and that, during the takeoff roll, the engine seemed like it was running fine. The wreckage has been moved to a secure location and a detailed NTSB examination is pending. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database Retrieved: 2026-02-12
