Sequence of events
NTSB’s coding before 2008: each occurrence and phase of flight, and the causes and factors under it. The codes are defined in NTSB’s coding manual.
Analysis
Following one approach to land under conditions of low visibility (less than 1/4 mile) the pilot attempted to land again. On base leg, according to witnesses, the aircraft fell to the ground. In the wreckage the stall warning light bulb filament was grossly distorted. The pilot was trained as a private pilot only. All but one witness stated that the engine was operating normally until the crash.
