About 1452 Alaska daylight time, on September 6, 1977, Alaska Aeronautical Industries, Inc., flight 302 crashed into a glacier on the southwest side of Mt. Iliamna, Alaska, about 7,000 feet above mean sea level. The aircraft crashed in level flight in instrument meteorological conditions while en route from Iliamna, Alaska, to Anchorage, Alaska. There were 2 crewmembers and 11 passengers aboard the aircraft; there were no survivors. The aircraft was destroyed. Because of the rapidly changing environmental conditions on the glacier face, recovery of bodies or wreckage was not possible. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of the accident was the failure of the flightcrew to use proper navigational procedures for the route to be flown, especially their failure to use the available backup means of navigation to verify the position and the progress of the flight.
