What happened
During an approach into Harrisburg-City Airport, a twin engine aircraft encountered heavy fog that significantly reduced visibility. While on final approach, the aircraft descended to an altitude below the safe threshold and made contact with treetops. The impact occurred in a nearby wooded area, resulting in the total destruction of the airframe. The pilot sustained injuries during the accident.
Findings
Investigations into the crash determined that the incident was the result of improper IFR operation. Specifically, the pilot descended below the established landing minimums while operating under instrument flight rules in the foggy conditions.
