Aviation Accident Summary NYC88FA235

GREENVILLE, ME, USA

Aircraft #1

N6064C

CESSNA 182RG

Analysis

THE NON-INSTRUMENT RATED PILOT APPARENTLY COULD NOT LOCATE THE DESTINATION AIRPORT BECAUSE OF LOW CEILINGS AND GROUND FOG. BEFORE THE PILOT STARTED HIS TRIP HE WAS ADVISED BY THE FSS THAT VFR FLIGHT TO HIS DESTINATION WAS NOT RECOMMENDED. IT APPEARS THAT THE AIRCRAFT WAS FLYING LOW IN AN EFFORT TO LOCATE THE AIRPORT, WHEN IT IMPACTED TREES ABOUT 10 MILES NORTHEAST OF THE AIRPORT AND AT AN ELEVATION THAT WAS HIGHER THAN THE AIRPORT ELEVATION.
