Narrative:

My intentions were to land at Z13 (akiachak) airport. The runways run east and west (runways 11-29). I was on a southerly heading as I crossed above the runway viewing the windsocks. They both indicated a crosswind from the south. I then proceeded to enter a left downwind for runway 29. I had been into Z13 earlier that morning, noting how icy and slick the runway was. I also noted that the wind was calm and that I had a load of about 3000 pounds gross weight. As I turned final for runway 29 later that afternoon with a load of about 3000 pounds gross weight, I took precautions knowing how slick it was earlier. As I came over the trees with full flaps and stall warning horn going off, I set the plane down within the first 75 ft of the runway. I immediately started pumping the brakes, braking action was nil. The plane wxvaned into the wind, now sliding down the runway at a 75-90 degree angle. I immediately thought go around, but I knew I had to get somewhat parallel to the runway before a successful go around could be accomplished. I mashed full right rudder then brake... Nothing so I tried left rudder and brake, hoping for a 90 degree turn backward so I could pull it out with power. Nothing... I hit the snow bank at the end of the runway, breaking the right strut arm to the nosewheel. Corrective action -- sand the runway.

Title: PLT OF AN ATX SMA SEL LOST CTL OF THE ACFT DURING LNDG ROLL ON ICY RWY RESULTING IN THE ACFT SLIDING INTO A SNOW BANK. THE ACFT NOSE WHEEL STRUT ARM WAS BROKEN.

Narrative: MY INTENTIONS WERE TO LAND AT Z13 (AKIACHAK) ARPT. THE RWYS RUN E AND W (RWYS 11-29). I WAS ON A SOUTHERLY HDG AS I CROSSED ABOVE THE RWY VIEWING THE WINDSOCKS. THEY BOTH INDICATED A XWIND FROM THE S. I THEN PROCEEDED TO ENTER A L DOWNWIND FOR RWY 29. I HAD BEEN INTO Z13 EARLIER THAT MORNING, NOTING HOW ICY AND SLICK THE RWY WAS. I ALSO NOTED THAT THE WIND WAS CALM AND THAT I HAD A LOAD OF ABOUT 3000 LBS GROSS WT. AS I TURNED FINAL FOR RWY 29 LATER THAT AFTERNOON WITH A LOAD OF ABOUT 3000 LBS GROSS WT, I TOOK PRECAUTIONS KNOWING HOW SLICK IT WAS EARLIER. AS I CAME OVER THE TREES WITH FULL FLAPS AND STALL WARNING HORN GOING OFF, I SET THE PLANE DOWN WITHIN THE FIRST 75 FT OF THE RWY. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED PUMPING THE BRAKES, BRAKING ACTION WAS NIL. THE PLANE WXVANED INTO THE WIND, NOW SLIDING DOWN THE RWY AT A 75-90 DEG ANGLE. I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT GAR, BUT I KNEW I HAD TO GET SOMEWHAT PARALLEL TO THE RWY BEFORE A SUCCESSFUL GAR COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED. I MASHED FULL R RUDDER THEN BRAKE... NOTHING SO I TRIED L RUDDER AND BRAKE, HOPING FOR A 90 DEG TURN BACKWARD SO I COULD PULL IT OUT WITH PWR. NOTHING... I HIT THE SNOW BANK AT THE END OF THE RWY, BREAKING THE R STRUT ARM TO THE NOSEWHEEL. CORRECTIVE ACTION -- SAND THE RWY.
