A Cessna 441 on an instrument approach to Winchester Municipal Airport in Tennessee descended below the final approach fix altitude about four miles early to get under a low cloud ceiling. It struck trees and rising terrain roughly five miles south of the runway and burned, killing both occupants. The NTSB found no mechanical problem.
