Approach Procedure
The flight was cleared for the ILS/DME approach to Runway 8. The pilot executed the published procedure turn and became established on the localizer and glide slope at approximately 5.5 miles DME. The descent continued as the pilot completed the before-landing checklist.
Radio Communication
At about 5 miles DME, the pilot attempted to call the Flight Service Station to report final approach fix inbound but had to wait for another airplane transmitting. The pilot then contacted the FSS and reported at 4.5 miles DME.
Ground Contact
Shortly after the radio call, the pilot felt the airplane contact the ground. The pilot reported that his last instrument scan that he could remember showed that he was on the glide path and localizer at an altitude of 1,250 feet.
Aftermath
After the accident, the pilot reported that the visibility was about 100 yards and that there was blowing snow.
