## Narrative

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

(-23) ON IFR FLIGHT FROM MORGANTOWN, WVA (MGW) TO TOLEDO, OHIO (DUH) IN A CE-182N, N3292S, THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^ AND THREE PASSENGERS ENCOUNTERED AIRFRAME ICING SHORTLY AFTER CROSSING THE WVA AND OH STATE LINE. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DA^ MADE THE DECISION TO CONTINUE TO THE DESTINATION AIRPORT. THE AIRCRAFT CONTINUED TO BUILD UP ICE AND ABOUT 40 MILES SOUTH EAST OF MANSFIELD, OHIO (MFD) HE KNEW HE HAD TO LAND. HE ASKED MFD APPROACH CONTROL TO DEVIATE TO MFD BUT WAS TOLD THEY HAD 3-5 INCHES OF SNOW ON THE RUNWAY. THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DA^ ASKED FOR ANOTHER AIRPORT CLOSE BY AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT MARION (MNN) WAS 30 MILES AWAY AND HE ASKED FOR A GPS APPROACH TO R/W 25. MANSFIELD APPROACH CLEARED HIM FOR THE APPROACH TO R/W 25 AT MARION. WHILE ON THE APPROACH AT APPROXIMATELY 80-100 FEET AGL THE AIRCRAFT STARTED A SINK RATE THAT THE PILOT ^PRIVACY DA^ COULD NOT STOP. THE AIRCRAFT STRUCK THE GROUND ABOUT 250 FEET SHORT OF THE RUNWAY AT A FAIRLY FLAT ATTITUDE, BUT DUE TO THE HIGH SINK RATE AND THE SOFT GROUND THE AIRCRAFT FLIPPED ONTO IT'S BACK. THE AIRCRAFT SUFFERED SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE, BUT THE PASSENGERS ONLY HAD MINOR INJURIES.
