Overview
A pilot conducting a flight encountered adverse weather conditions during the en route phase. The pilot had obtained a weather forecast in the morning for a flight that was initiated in the afternoon. While en route to the intended destination, the pilot encountered low clouds short of the airport.
Events
The pilot contacted the airport of intended landing and was informed that the existing weather at the airport was instrument meteorological conditions (IMC). In response, the pilot descended through a hole in the clouds in an attempt to locate visual meteorological conditions. However, the pilot was unable to establish visual conditions after descending. Consequently, the pilot made an emergency landing on terrain that was described as unsuitable for landing.
