Analysis
The acft departed during a break in the wx after having waited for a special VFR departure. His departure radio call was the last communication from the flt. The wx remained marginal with icing in the clouds and freezing drizzle. The acft was on a flt to transport a dentist & a technical asst to area villages for U.S. Health dept clinical work. There was no pressing or urgent need to adhere to a schedule if the wx dictated a postponement. Acft wreckage was located on the side of a mt at 650 ft above MSL. It had collided with an upgrade while in a descending turn. The acft broke apart and left wreckage for a distance of 493 ft before coming to rest. The plt & one passenger remained in the wreckage. The rt front passenger was ejected and located near the wreckage. Witnesses at the crash site noted ice 1/8 to 3/4 inches thick on the broken wings & airframe parts during the recovery.
