Flight History
During the flight, the pilot communicated with air traffic control (ATC) and requested a change of destination airport due to weather. ATC approved the request and vectored the aircraft onto a right downwind leg for an instrument landing system (ILS) approach to the new airport. ATC cleared the pilot for the approach and instructed the pilot to maintain an altitude of 2,000 feet until established on the approach. The pilot acknowledged these transmissions, which were the last communications received from the flight.
Radar and Wreckage
Radar tracking indicated that the aircraft was last observed approximately 3 miles east of the locator outer marker associated with the ILS approach. No further transmissions were received after the acknowledgment. The aircraft wreckage was discovered the following morning.
Investigation
The accident is under investigation. Investigators will examine radar data, ATC communications, and the wreckage. No probable cause has been determined at this time.
