On May 10, 1993, at 1930 Alaska daylight time, a wheel equipped Cessna 182 airplane, N6374B, nosed over while landing at a remote strip approximately 7 miles southeast of Blair Lakes, Alaska. The commercial pilot and one passenger were not injured, and the airplane was substantially damaged. The local personal flight, operating under 14 CFR Part 91, departed Fairbanks, Alaska at 1845. Visual meteorological conditions existed, and a VFR flight plan was filed. Shortly after the accident, during a telephone interview, the pilot stated the following in part: "We were looking for a place to hunt, and wanted to land at this strip. Tire tracks on the ground indicated that other airplanes had landed there recently. I made two low passes and the surface appeared suitable, so I made a soft field landing. Shortly after touchdown I encountered a soft muddy area about 6 to 8 feet long which caused the nose gear to collapse and the airplane to nose over."
