Hey - the NTSB sure could have used your help. They completely missed
the icing factor. In fact, the NTSB said that ICING WAS NOT A FACTOR.


Interesting... the "Press Release" contains more information than the
final report contained in the database webpage.

DCA03MA008

On October 25, 2002, at about 1022 central daylight time, a Beech King
Air A100, N41BE, operated by Aviation Charter, Inc., crashed while on
the VOR approach to runway 27 at Eveleth-Virginia Municipal Airport
(EVM), Eveleth, Minnesota. The accident site was located approximately
two miles southeast of the runway 27 approach end. The airplane was
destroyed by impact forces and post-crash fire, and the six passengers
and two flight crewmembers were fatally injured. The airplane was being
operated as a charter flight under Title 14 CFR Part 135 of the Federal
Aviation Regulations (FARs). Instrument meteorological conditions
existed at the time of the accident, and an instrument flight rules
(IFR) flight plan had been filed.

The public docket on this accident has been opened and includes NTSB
group chairman factual reports.
