On June 9, 2002, about 1640 Alaska daylight time, a wheel-equipped Cessna 150 airplane, N8623J, sustained substantial damage after colliding with a ditch during landing at a remote area, about 13 miles southwest of Hope, Alaska. The airplane was being operated as a visual flight rules (VFR) local area personal flight when the accident occurred. The airplane was operated by the pilot. The private certificated pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed. The flight originated at Merrill Field, Anchorage, Alaska, about 1630. During a telephone conversation with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator-in-charge (IIC), on June 10, the pilot reported that he was landing on a grass-covered area near the Chickaloon Flats of the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. The pilot said he was landing toward the south, and during the landing rollout, the airplane struck a drainage ditch. The airplane nosed over and received damage to the wings, fuselage, and empennage. The pilot said the wind conditions at the time were 360 degrees at 10 knots.
