HOMER, AK, USA
N525EH
de Havilland DHC-6
AFTER LANDING, THE PLT WAS ADVISED TO TAXI TO THE RAMP VIA THE SOUTH TAXIWAY, SINCE THIS WAS THE ONLY TAXIWAY THAT HAD BEEN SNOW PLOWED. ONLY ABOUT A 12 FT WIDTH OF THE 80 FT WIDE TAXIWAY HAD BEEN PLOWED. THE CLEARED PORTION WAS ON THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TAXIWAY, NEXT TO A PERIMETER FENCE. AS THE PLT WAS TAXIING, HIS VISION WAS RESTRICTED BY DARKNESS & BLOWING SNOW. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE RIGHT WING OF THE ACFT STRUCK A FENCE POST WHERE THE PERIMETER FENCE ROSE IN ELEVATION.
