Weather and Preceding Flight
The reported weather conditions at the time included 3500 ft scattered, estimated 6000 ft broken, 18000 ft broken, visibility 4 miles with fog and haze, and wind from 200 degrees at 5 knots. The aircrew of a preceding flight, which arrived about 8 minutes earlier, reported that they entered a cloud layer during descent at or above 3500 ft. They stated that they remained in the clouds until they were on final at an altitude of 600 to 800 ft above ground level (AGL).
Approach and Missed Approach
During the arrival, N2906A was vectored and cleared for an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach to runway 14R. The aircraft was high on final, and a missed approach was executed. Following the missed approach, the pilot entered a right visual pattern and was subsequently cleared to land.
Accident Sequence
The aircraft crashed approximately 300 feet short and 300 feet left of the runway. The impact attitude was estimated to be 20 degrees nose down and 68 degrees right bank.
Investigation Findings
A continuity check of the flight controls was not possible, but all failures displayed evidence of overload or impact failure. An inspection of the engines revealed no pre-impact failure or malfunction.
