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 pilot was briefed on the enroute weather prior to departure. Records indicate that sigmets on icing and turbulence along the route were provided to the pilot. When the pilot encountered icing conditions in flight, he continued instead of turning back to non-icing conditions. Structural ice accumulated very rapidly. Vectors were requested and received to fly to the nearest airport. The pilot reported that more ice accumulated during the descent and he was unable to see through the windshield. A crash landing was made across the runway. Witnesses reported a thick covering of structural ice on the aircraft wreckage after the accident.
