Event Overview
An aircraft conducting an instrument landing system (ILS) approach experienced a deviation during the procedure turn. The resulting misalignment prompted the pilot to initiate a missed approach.
Second Approach Attempt
For the subsequent approach, the pilot attempted a non-standard method of orientation. During this second attempt, the aircraft unexpectedly intercepted the middle marker.
Descent and Impact
Radar data indicates that the aircraft then began a rapid descent while making a right turn. The pilot declared a second missed approach. The aircraft subsequently impacted the ground.
Weather Information
At the time of the incident, weather conditions had deteriorated. The pilot's last weather report indicated a 600-foot ceiling. Thereafter, the weather dropped below the minimums required for the approach.
