## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

THE PILOT STATES THAT HE HAD BEEN FLYING IFR FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS WHEN HE SUDDENLY STARTED TO ACCUMULATE ICE ON THE AIRCRAFT. THE AIRCRAFT AIRSPEED INDICATOR FAILED (NO PITOT HEAT), AND THE PILOT COULD NOT MAINTAIN ALTITUDE. THE AIRCRAFT WAS VECTORED BY ATC TO THE AIRPORT AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE PILOT STATES THAT HE CHECKED THE WEATHER AT DESTINATION AS VFR, AND HE EXPECTED TO FLY BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS. THE PILOT WAS COUNSELED TO CHECK IN FLIGHT WEATHER ADVISORIES.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
