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
Plt attempted instrument approach in conditions conducive to structural icing; I.e., fog, light snow, temp 32F. Acft not equipped for deice. Structural ice accretion during approach and climb-out following missed approach degraded acft performance so that climb to assigned alt/vfr conditions not possible. Acft continued to accumulate ice in IMC, eventually forcing descent to ground contact.
