## Narrative

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

(-23) THE PILOT RECEIVED A WEATHER BRIEFING AT A COMPUTER TERMINAL THAT FORECASTED ICING CONDITIONS IN THE CLOUDS. HE THEN PROCEEDED ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN IN AN AIRPLANE THAT WAS NOT APPROVED FOR FLIGHT IN ICING CONDITIONS. ENCOUNTERING ICE, HE REQUESTED A HIGHER ALTITUDE, ONLY TO RE-ENCOUNTER ICE SHORTLY THEREAFTER. HE REQUESTED ATC ASSISTANCE IN LOCATING AN AIRPORT TO WHICH HE COULD DIVERT, AND ULTIMATELY RECEIVED A CLEARANCE TO MACON (K89), MISSOURI. THE AIRCRAFT ACCUMULATED SUBSTANTIAL ICE BEFORE REACHING VISUAL METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS. THE PILOT MADE A HARD LANDING, BOUNCED, AND EXECUTED A GO-AROUND BEFORE RETURNING FOR A LANDING.^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^

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.
