The aircraft was carrying 5 passengers and a pilot from Reading (Pennsylvania) to Ainsworth, Nebraska. While descending to 4,000 feet, the airplane encountered ice and descended out of IMC between 300 and 400 feet. On final approach, the aircraft touch the ground near runway 17 threshold, bounced and eventually came to rest 700 feet further on a parallel access road. Only two passengers reported minor injuries. The aircraft was written off. It seems that the windshield was obscured by ice during descent, reducing pilot's visibility. |
