Accident Details
The accident took place at the conclusion of a night cross-country flight. The pilot had been advised that the weather conditions at Montgomery Airport were below basic VFR minimums. Despite this, the pilot proceeded with an instrument approach and was cleared for an ILS approach.
Sequence of Events
At an altitude of approximately 400 feet, the pilot reported having the runway in sight. However, as the descent continued, fog obscured the runway, and the pilot lost visual contact. Shortly before initiating a missed approach, the pilot was informed that the visibility had decreased to 1/16 mile. During the execution of the missed approach, while the aircraft was still descending, it collided with the runway.
