Descripción:
The aircraft collided with flat open terrain while on an RNAV (GPS) approach to Sun Valley's (SUN) runway 31. The Cessna was operating on a cargo flight under contract with United Parcel Service. The pilot of a Cessna Citation 525, who flew the same approach about 20 minutes prior to the accident, reported his aircraft was picking up moderate mixed ice on the wings and windshield.
PROBABLE CAUSE: "The pilot's failure to maintain aircraft control while on approach for landing in icing conditions. Inadequate airspeed was a factor."
