Factual narrative

WHILE ENROUTE ON AN IFR FLIGHT PLAN, THE PLT CHANGED DESTINATION TO DICKINSON, ND, WHICH EXTENDED THE LENGTH OF THE FLT. HE DID NOT DESIGINATE AN ALTERNATE ARPT OR HAVE AN ADEQUATE FUEL RESERVE AS REQUIRED. ON ARRIVAL AT THE DESTINATION, HE EXECUTED AN INSTRUMENT APCH IN IMC. AFTER DESCENT BELOW THE CLOUDS, THE ACFT WAS NOT IN POSITION TO MAKE A NORMAL LANDING. THE PLT MADE A GO-AROUND AND ATTEMPTED TO FLY A VFR TRAFFIC PATTERN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ALIGN THE ACFT FOR LANDING HE ALLOWED THE ACFT TO STALL, DESCEND AND IMPACT THE GROUND. THE ACFT TRAVELED ACROSS THE ARPT INTERSECTING RUNWAYS AND CAME TO REST IN AN UPRIGHT POSITION. THE ACFT EXCEEDED MAXIMUM GROSS WEIGHT TAKEOFF LIMITS ON DEPARTURE AND FORWARD CG LIMIT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. Source: NTSB Aviation Accident Database (Pre-2008 Archive) Retrieved: 2026-02-12
