Analysis
The flight was enroute from bridgeport, Connecticut to old forge, new york when adverse weather conditions were encountered. A request for lower altitude to escape weather was no improvement and a request to land at oneida was made. During radar vectors through 1200 foot ceiling, the aircraft picked up a considerable amount of ice. The flight broke out of the clouds at about 400 feet and touched down hard. The gear collapsed during the lndg.
