A private Cessna R182, was on a flight plan for a recreational, visual flight rules trip from Nanaimo (CYCD), BC to Glacier Park International Airport (KGPI), Montana, USA with the pilot and one passenger on board.
The aircraft initially flew southeast from CYCD, crossing into U.S. airspace above the San Juan Islands at approximately 4000 feet ASL. The aircraft continued to travel southeast, climbing to approximately 10 700 feet ASL before beginning a series of turns and descents. The flight then turned north, towards an area with mountainous terrain.
The aircraft followed an erratic flight path at varying altitude, at one point climbout to approx 13700 feet ASL.
The aircraft had been travelling above 10000 feet ASL for 47 minutes when it a entered descending spiral pattern from which it did not recover. The last recorded radar target was at 15:41, at which time the aircraft was at an altitude of approximately 8700 feet ASL heading toward Needle Peak, BC. The aircraft impacted a forested 39° slope near Needle Peak at an elevation of approximately 4400 feet ASL. Both of the aircraft's occupants were fatally injured.
In this occurrence, the aircraft was flying in an area of forecast icing and instrument meteorological conditions at altitudes requiring the use of supplemental oxygen; however, the pilot did not hold an instrument rating, the aircraft was not equipped for flight in known icing conditions, and no supplemental oxygen system was on board.
