What happened
The pilot was cruising at 4,000 feet while en route to Reading. Upon receiving clearance for an ILS approach to Runway 36, the aircraft was positioned 3 miles from the outer marker (LOM). The LOM is situated 3.9 miles from the end of Runway 36, and the required glideslope intercept altitude was 1,636 feet MSL.
Approximately seven minutes after accepting the approach clearance, the pilot contacted Air Traffic Control to announce that he was executing a missed approach. The wreckage was subsequently located in mountainous terrain at an elevation of approximately 1,100 feet, roughly 13 miles north of the airport.
Based on a final recorded groundspeed of 174 knots, calculations indicate the aircraft traveled approximately 20 nautical miles between the time the approach clearance was received (at 6.9 NM from the airport) and the commencement of the missed approach.
