THE PILOT FLEW TWO (NON-PRECISION) INSTRUMENT APPROACHES TO THE DESTINATION AIRPORT. WHEN HE MISSED THE FIRST APPROACH HE REPORTED HE WAS HAVING TROUBLE AND NEEDED TO MAKE ANOTHER APPROACH. WITNESSES REPORTED EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL AS THE AIRPLANE OVERFLEW THE AIRPORT WHILE CIRCLING TO LAND. THEY STATED THE AIRPLANE WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILE NORTHWEST OF THE AIRPORT WHEN THE WINGS ROCKED BACK AND FORTH, THE AIRPLANE PITCHED NOSE UP, THEN PITCHED DOWN INTO THE GROUND. THE WEATHER WAS REPORTED TO BE 400 TO 800 FOOT CEILING, 2 TO 3 1/2 MILES VISIBILITY IN FOG, AND NORTHERLY WINDS AT LESS THAN 10 KNOTS.

Probable Cause: THE INSTRUMENT RATED PRIVATE PILOT'S INADVERTENT STALL WHILE CIRCLING TO LAND. THE WEATHER WAS A FACTOR.
