| Confidence Rating: |  Accident investigation report completed and information captured |
The flight was cleared for the ILS runway 33 approach and was approved a frequency change, which the pilot acknowledged. Radar data revealed that the flight was left of the localizer course and above the glide slope throughout the entire approach. The flight then over flew the airport at 4,100 feet to the northwest with a continuous descent. The pilot's last recorded transmission, which ended abruptly, was his intentions to execute the missed approach, at which time the radar data showed the flight about 5 miles northwest of the airport at 2,700 feet. The wreckage was located about 5 miles northwest of the airport at an approximate elevation of 2,600 feet. Examination of the wreckage did not disclose evidence of a mechanical malfunction with the airframe or engine. According to the instrument approach plate, for the ILS runway 33 approach, the missed approach point was located prior to the runway threshold at a decision height of 1,660 feet.
Probable Cause: the pilot's failure to follow the published instrument approach procedures, and his delayed missed approach, which resulted in an inflight collision with mountainous terrain.
