On December 23, 2021, when Morgan Farmer and Jake Zakrzewski plugged in to train on their first session of the day at Denver Center (ZDV), they were greeted with reports of severe icing and severe turbulence. Shortly after plugging in, N340J checked on. Zakrzewski and Farmer immediately noticed that he was having trouble maintaining altitude. They later determined that N340JS encountered severe icing, was unable to maintain altitude and descended below the Minimum IFR Altitude (MIA). Though the pilot never declared an emergency, the training team treated the situation as such, and was able to lead him to a safe landing.
