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
The acft made a forced landing due to weather which included icing and low ceilings. According to the plt. The acft would no longer hold level flt due to icing and after the acft broke out at 300-350 ft AGL he landed and the gear collapsed. The plt had received two weather briefings. The first indicated VFR flt not recommended. The flt was delayed and after a later briefing which showed some improved weather but still marginal in some areas the plt decided to go.
