A Cessna 172P Skyhawk impacted the top Mt. Shishidake, a 2714 m high mountain. It slid down the snow on the southeast slope to about 2300 m ASL.
Probable Cause: "It is probable that as the Aircraft got into clouds during VFR flight over the mountain region, it became difficult for the PIC and the Pilot to grasp its own position and surroundings by confirming visually the terrain, then, the Aircraft approached the vicinity of the mountaintop and crashed into it.
It is somewhat likely that the Aircraft approached the vicinity of the mountaintop and crashed into it due to loss of visual contacts making the crash unavoidable, or due to failure to maintain minimum safe altitude caused by the Aircraft icing or stalled condition, or due to encountering a severe turbulence. However, it could not be determined, since the PIC and all
members on board were fatally injured.
Concerning the fact that the Aircraft came to fly into clouds, it is probable that the PIC and the Pilot had not confirmed thoroughly the weather forecast for the mountainous region before departure and they delayed in making a decision to turn back during flight."
