Read the full NTSB narrative

THE PROFESSIONAL PILOT WAS FAMILIAR WITH HIS DESTINATION. HE HAD MADE THE SAME TRIP MANY TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. DESTINATION WEATHER INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE THAT EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND ALTHOUGH HE INDICATED OVER THE RADIO THAT HE WAS AWARE OF THE POOR CONDITIONS, HE ELECTED TO CONTINUE HIS APPROACH. THE AIRCRAFT COLLIDED WITH GRADUALLY RISING TERRAIN IN LEVEL FLIGHT. MULTIPLE INDICATIONS OF POWER AND CONTROLLABILITY WERE FOUND ON SCENE AND IN SUBSEQUENT EXAMINATIONS.
