What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) According to ATC tape, the PIC attempted two ILS approaches. Based on ntap data, the airplane did not descend below 2,400 feet while on the ILS rwy 18 approach (glideslope intercept alt. Is 2,500 and dh is 1,165 (200 AGL). The PIC stated to the controller that he was unable to activate the runway lights with his radio. Dur to an 800 foot cloud ceiling, the PIC may not have seen the airport because he was still IMC. During climbout after the second missed approach, the PIC reported an engine failure. N91WC remained airborne for approximately four minutes before impacting an attached garage in a residential area approximately three miles east of jln. The debris path continued for 300 feet until coming to rest against a chain link fence. There was very little residual fuel spillage at the scene.
