NTSB summary
On September 15, 2024, about 2204 Alaska daylight time, a Cessna 207 airplane, N90193, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near St. Mary’s, Alaska. The pilot and three passengers were fatally injured. The flight was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight. According to the operator, Yute Commuter Service, the airplane was reportedly being used by two employees for a personal flight at the time of the accident. Management personnel reported that the accident airplane was currently only being used for Part 91 operations since the engine had exceeded the manufacturers time before overhaul requirement. These Part 91 operations included company flight training and repositioning flights. The accident pilot, who was the assistant chief pilot for the operator, along with another company pilot, a former pilot for the operator, and a fourth passenger, intended to fly from Bethel Airport (BET), Bethel, Alaska, to St. Mary’s Airport (KSM), St. Mary’s, Alaska, for a moose hunt. According to the flight tracking service used by the operator, the airplane departed BET about 2108 and proceeded to the northwest to KSM between 500 and 800 ft above ground level (agl). At 2159, the airplane was about 4 nautical miles southeast of the KSM airport and about 180 ft agl over the Yukon River. The airplane continued north toward the airport, overflew the west side of runway 6/24, then maneuvered to the west of the airport. The airplane then made a left 180° turn and overflew runway 6/24 about 200 ft agl. The airplane turned right and proceeded so
