Narrative:

We arrived cdv from anc and we reported braking action fair. It snowed during our ground time (24 mins). We deiced and taxied out for a runway 9 departure. I taxied slower than normal taxi speed due to the snow on the ground and reduced visibility. As we approached the departure end of runway 9 I applied brakes to slow for a 180 degree turn and found the braking action to be nil. I used maximum reverse and maximum braking to stop the aircraft. We stopped approximately 15 ft past the runway end identifier lights. The aircraft was slightly left of centerline heading 280 degrees. We shut down the engines, called cdv operations and requested a crew come out to check our position, and check for any damage. They told us we were still on the paved surface with no apparent aircraft damage. They plowed a path for our nosewheel to turn around to the right and we did so with no other problems noted. We taxied back to the ramp for a maintenance inspection. A slight curl was found on the leading edge tip on fan blade 58N on engine #1. It was within limits and we departed for yak. I must have been taxiing too fast for the existing conditions, or I attempted to stop too close to the runway end. I did not realize this at the time. Taxi speed should be even slower than what appears to be safe speed when there is snow on the surface. Expect poor braking conditions at all times.

Title: CAPT OF A B737-400 LOST CTL OF THE ACFT DURING TAXI FOR TKOF RESULTING IN RUNNING OFF END OF THE USABLE RWY AND RECEIVING DAMAGE TO 1 ENG TURBINE BLADE.

Narrative: WE ARRIVED CDV FROM ANC AND WE RPTED BRAKING ACTION FAIR. IT SNOWED DURING OUR GND TIME (24 MINS). WE DEICED AND TAXIED OUT FOR A RWY 9 DEP. I TAXIED SLOWER THAN NORMAL TAXI SPD DUE TO THE SNOW ON THE GND AND REDUCED VISIBILITY. AS WE APCHED THE DEP END OF RWY 9 I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW FOR A 180 DEG TURN AND FOUND THE BRAKING ACTION TO BE NIL. I USED MAX REVERSE AND MAX BRAKING TO STOP THE ACFT. WE STOPPED APPROX 15 FT PAST THE RWY END IDENTIFIER LIGHTS. THE ACFT WAS SLIGHTLY L OF CTRLINE HDG 280 DEGS. WE SHUT DOWN THE ENGS, CALLED CDV OPS AND REQUESTED A CREW COME OUT TO CHK OUR POS, AND CHK FOR ANY DAMAGE. THEY TOLD US WE WERE STILL ON THE PAVED SURFACE WITH NO APPARENT ACFT DAMAGE. THEY PLOWED A PATH FOR OUR NOSEWHEEL TO TURN AROUND TO THE R AND WE DID SO WITH NO OTHER PROBS NOTED. WE TAXIED BACK TO THE RAMP FOR A MAINT INSPECTION. A SLIGHT CURL WAS FOUND ON THE LEADING EDGE TIP ON FAN BLADE 58N ON ENG #1. IT WAS WITHIN LIMITS AND WE DEPARTED FOR YAK. I MUST HAVE BEEN TAXIING TOO FAST FOR THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, OR I ATTEMPTED TO STOP TOO CLOSE TO THE RWY END. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS AT THE TIME. TAXI SPD SHOULD BE EVEN SLOWER THAN WHAT APPEARS TO BE SAFE SPD WHEN THERE IS SNOW ON THE SURFACE. EXPECT POOR BRAKING CONDITIONS AT ALL TIMES.
