THE FLIGHT WAS ISSUED THE LOCAL WEATHER AND CLEARED FOR THE LOCALIZER APPROACH. THE PILOT WAS INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT UNICOM FOR AIRPORT ADVISORIES; NO UNICOM RADIO CONTACT WAS ESTABLISHED. EYEWITNESSES OBSERVED THE AIRPLANE AS IT DESCENDED OUT OF THE 400 FOOT CLOUD LAYER, ABOUT 3/4 DOWN THE RUNWAY, WITH THE AIRPLANE IN A LANDING CONFIGURATION (FLAPS AND LANDING GEAR EXTENDED). AT APPROXIMATELY THE SAME TIME, THE PILOT REPORTED A MISSED APPROACH TO APPROACH CONTROL. THE PILOT WAS INSTRUCTED TO CLIMB TO 3000 FEET THEN TURN LEFT TO 280 DEGREES; THE PILOT ACKNOWLEDGED THE INSTRUCTIONS. EYEWITNESSES SAW THE AIRPLANE IN A LEFT CLIMBING TURN WHICH CONTINUED UNTIL IT STALLED. THE AIRPLANE COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND IN A NOSE LOW ATTITUDE 1/4 MILE WEST OF THE AIRPORT. THE WRECKAGE EXAMINATION FAILED TO DISCLOSE A MECHANICAL PROBLEM.
Probable Cause: WAS THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRPLANE DURING A MISSED APPROACH WHICH RESULTED IN A STALL. A FACTOR WAS THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO FOLLOW IFR PROCEDURES.
