Read the full NTSB narrative
During an aerial survey flight around mountainous terrain, the aircraft was reported overdue and missing. The wreckage was located about six months later in a valley surrounded by high terrain. Ground disturbances and impact signatures documented at the accident site indicate that the aircraft collided with the terrain in a nose down attitude. Impact damage and a post-crash fire destroyed the aircraft. Post-crash inspection of the wreckage and engine did not reveal evidence of a mechanical failure or malfunction.
