What happened
An on-demand air taxi aircraft crashed approximately two miles beyond the airport, positioned on the extended centerline of the landing runway. The accident occurred during a third attempt at an Instrument Landing System (ILS) approach.
The pilot reported that during the first approach, he observed the runway and noted vehicles present on the taxiway, which led to a missed approach. During the second approach attempt, the pilot experienced fluctuations in his course direction indicator. Due to poor visibility, the pilot requested that airport lights be set to high intensity; while the lights were verified as being at high intensity, the pilot's visibility remained limited.
The pilot stated he had no memory of the third approach after passing the outer marker. At the time of the aircraft's approaches, snow removal operations were actively in progress at the airport.
