Read the full NTSB narrative
WHILE EN ROUTE ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN, THE PILOT ENCOUNTERED ICING CONDITIONS. THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED BOTH STRUCTURAL AND INDUCTION ICING, AND THE PILOT INITIATED A DESCENT AS THE AIRCRAFT BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER, AND THE PITOT TUBE ICED OVER. THE AIRCRAFT IMPACTED THE TERRAIN WHILE THE PILOT WAS ATTEMPTING A FORCED LANDING IN A SMALL UNFORESTED AREA. BECAUSE THE PILOT HAD LIMITED HIS 'WEATHER BRIEFING' TO SELECTED DUAT SYSTEM DATA AND AN ABBREVIATED FLIGHT SERVICE STATION BRIEFING, HE FAILED TO RECEIVE AN AIRMET WARNING OF OCCASIONAL ICING CONDITIONS ALONG HIS ROUTE OF FLIGHT.
