## Probable cause

THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT AIRSPEED. FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACCIDENT WERE THE ICING CONDITIONS ENCOUNTERED, AND THE WINDSHIELD & AIRFRAME ICE.

## Sequence of events

In NTSB's coding before 2008 (https://www.ntsb.gov/GILS/Documents/codman.pdf).

- Loss of control - in flight, missed approach (ifr)
  - weather condition - icing conditions (contributing factor)
  - wing - ice (contributing factor)
  - window,flight compartment window/windshield - ice (contributing factor)
  - airspeed - not maintained, pilot in command (cause)
  - stall - inadvertent, pilot in command
- In flight collision with terrain/water, circling (ifr)

## Analysis

WHILE EN ROUTE THE FLIGHT ENCOUNTERED LIGHT, THEN MODERATE ICING CONDITIONS & DIVERTED TO MARYSVILLE. AFTER EXECUTING THE NDB APPROACH & BREAKING OUT AT ABOUT 2000 FT AGL, THE PILOT MADE TWO LANDING ATTEMPTS WITH ICE STILL ON THE WINDSHIELD AND AIRFRAME. AFTER THE SECOND ATTEMPT, AFTER ENTERING DOWNWIND, THE AIRPLANE STALLED. DURING RECOVERY THE AIRPLANE STRUCK A TREE SEPARATING THE OUTER 1/3 OF THE LEFT WING.
