Well, with a VFR flight plan, this is an interesting question, as it shouldn't be an issue at all. (Except for flying into freezing rain, which was not the case on that day.).
Moderate icing was forecast between 4000-7000 ft.
In the last 3 minutes, the a/c descended out of 4800 ft and crashed at an elevation of 3360 ft. Straight line, stable speed, slow rate of descent, no report of icing.
How far does this rule out icing-related control issues?
