During flight, the pilot was informed that weather conditions
at destination were bad with low visibility due to fog. Despite this
message, he elected to land but during its approach, the aircraft struck
trees and crashed in a wooded area located 1,8 miles short of runway
32 threshold. The pilot was killed and the 4 passengers were injured.
