4. Scenario: It must have been scary. Not only was the commercial pilot forced to land his Cessna 172 on a nearby private airstrip after encountering adverse weather while en route to his destination of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, but now he was facing the same situation again on this same tripthis time with his airplane low on fuel and no suitable airport within reach. According to the NTSB, the VFR pilot encountered IMC on this winter day and decided to conduct a precautionary landing on a snow-covered road. The road came to a T, and the airplane skid off the end and crashed into several trees, causing substantial damage to the airplane. The NTSB determined the probable cause of this accident was the pilots decision to initiate flight into known adverse weather, his delay in not taking remedial action by not making a precautionary landing sooner, and his continued VFR flight into IMC (NTSB Identification NO. DEN06LA036). Aircraft involved: Cessna 172 Discuss this NTSB report and any similar incidents identifying the associated risks, latent errors, and hazards associated with VFR flight into IMC. What mitigation would you recommend? Identify best practices to prevent incidents/accidents of this type, and note what the FAA, NTSB and LUSOA have to say about this. MUST BE IN APA FORMAT
