THE PILOT WAS CONDUCTING A MANUALLY FLOWN ILS APPROACH IN MARGINAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. HE SAID THAT HE BECAME DISTRACTED AT ABOUT 3.5 MILES FROM TOUCHDOWN BY A CALL FROM THE TOWER ASKING HIS LOCATION. HE SAID THAT HE LOOKED OUTSIDE THE COCKPIT AND SAW A HIGHWAY BELOW. WHEN HE AGAIN LOOKED AT HIS INSTRUMENTS, HE OBSERVED THE GLIDE PATH NEEDLE DISPLAYING A 'FULL SCALE BELOW GLIDE PATH INDICATION.' HE THEN TRIED TO ENGAGE THE AUTO PILOT, BUT THE AIRPLANE STRUCK TREES.
Probable Cause: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN THE PROPER GLIDE PATH DURING AN INSTRUMENT APPROACH, AND HIS IMPROPER REMEDIAL ACTION, RESULTING IN A COLLISION WITH TREES.
