What happened
Prior to the flight, the pilot received weather briefings for the route of flight that indicated reduced visibility and low ceilings. While performing an ILS approach to Runway 34, the pilot notified the controller that the glide slope had been lost and requested an airport surveillance radar (ASR) approach.
The controller, noting that the flight path appeared in the green on the tower scope, approved the ASR approach and provided the pilot with new minimums. The aircraft was cleared to land; however, approximately one half mile from the runway, the pilot executed a missed approach.
As the controller provided instructions for the missed approach, the pilot transmitted that they were "just a little bit lower" and had just seen the runway lights. Following this transmission, both radar and radio contact with the aircraft were lost. The aircraft was subsequently located one quarter mile north of Runway 34, where it had collided with trees and a road.
