The aircraft struck obstructing terrain after the pilot discontinued an approach to land because of an ice accumulation on the windshield of the aircraft. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the pilot's use of other than the recommended procedures for a go-around following the discontinuance of a landing approach.
