On January 9, 1983, Republic Airlines, Inc., Flight 927, a Convair 580, was a regularly scheduled passenger flight from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Thief River Falls, Minnesota. En route stops were scheduled at Brainerd, Minnesota and Bemidji, Minnesota. Following a nonprecision instrument approach to runway 23 at Brainerd-Crow Wing County Airport (Brainerd Airport), the airplane touched down about 1,725 feet beyond the threshold of the 6,500 foot runway. The touchdown was made with the right wing down and the right main gear about 37 feet from the right edge of the 150-foot-wide runway. The airplane continued to the right and the right propeller struck a 2- to 3-foot high snowbank which was between the right edge of the runway and the runway edge lights. The No. 1 blade of the propeller separated and entered the cabin. Of the 30 passengers and 3 crewmembers on board, 1 passenger was injured fatally and 1 passenger was injured seriously by the propeller blade. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable causes of the accident were the failure of the captain to properly align the airplane with the runway in sufficient time to allow a touchdown with no drift and the position of a snowbank on the edge of the runway the height of which exceeded that specified by regulation.
