Analysis
According to the pilot the flight from toledo to the kenoshaarea was uneventful. During the VOR approach to rwy 14 (approx 2 miles from the end of the runway) the aircraft impacted the ground and was destroyed. The pilot stated that the last thing he rembered before impact was seeing 1100 feet MSL on his altimeter. He was using the correct altimeter setting. The altimeter was later given a complete scale error check at an independent avionics repair facility. The results of this test indicated an error range of -400 ft at a simulated altitude of 1000 ft to -950 ft at a simulated altitude of 20000 ft. it is a non-encoding altimeter and was last checked by a certified repair station approximately 19 months prior to the accident.
