I'm going to venture a guess and say it left the paved surface and went for a little "excursion".

Didn’t have any info except there was an excursion. Was just wondering if anyone knew how it came about

[Its What I do]

Unstable approach, tail wind ,down slope . Apparently right hand brake locked up with anti lock brakes ........... no one hurt all that really matters .

Right no one was hurt, bending a perfectly good airplane because of bad PDM is fine, as long as everyone is okay afterwards.

Usually you accept the tailwind to land uphill in Powell River, not downhill... Why not take the uphill, in wind runway? Something not adding up there...

“Perfectly good airplane.”

I never flew the SAAB, but I never found Powell River to be a particularly challenging airport. In my experience you tended to land downhill because there was often a fresh sea breeze.

Taking a tailwind for 27 is an interesting move though… no sea breeze if it’s an easterly!
