The pilot departed on an IFR flight in instrument meteorological conditions without receiving a weather briefing. Weather reported in the area of the destination airport was ceiling 300 feet overcast with 1 mile visibility in fog. The instrument approach was flown 1 mile south of, and parallel to, the destination runway. The pilot performed a left turn during the missed approach procedure, followed by a right turn after he requested vectors for a return flight to the departure airport. Examination of radar data revealed that after the airplane completed the right turn and rolled out on the assigned heading, the airplane re-entered a right turn and descended in a right-hand spiral. Examination of the airframe and engine revealed no pre-impact anomalies. Photographs taken at the scene immediately following the accident showed reduced visibility due to fog.
Probable Cause: the pilot's loss of control in flight due to spatial disorientation. A related factor was the fog.
