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
Several diversions had been made due to encountering airframe icing. Once the pilot realized that a low fuel condition existed he asked for vectors to the nearest airport. The pilot had to make a forced landing due to fuel exhaustion 1 mile short of the runway. During landing roll the aircraft struck a stop sign and the nose gear collapsed due to the rough terrain.
