On Dec. 16, 2016, a Cirrus SR22 departed from Hannibal Regional
Airport (HAE) with plans to land at Jefferson City Memorial Airport
(JEF).
When the pilot checked in with Kansas City Center (ZKC), he
immediately made a request to return to HAE due to severe icing
he encountered after takeoff. As ZKC controller Andrew Cullen
provided assistance on the D-side position, fellow ZKC controller
Jeffrey R. Volski established the aircraft on the RNAV Runway 17
approach and issued the pilot instructions for an approach. The
pilot lost visual contact with the field after attempting to execute a
circle approach to Runway 35.
Volski: 7HR roger. You just take all your concentration to land and just
give me a call through flight service when you get clear.
N687HR: Okay. I'm gonna need your help a little bit more here, sir.
Volski: Alright. You're radar contact lost 7HR. Last I picked you up, you
were a half mile north of the airport.
