Approach Sequence
The pilot and copilot flew four instrument landing system (ILS) approaches at their destination airport. The first three attempts resulted in missed approaches; two of those were due to non-alignment with the runway. During the fourth ILS approach, the airplane cleared the clouds at 300 feet above the ground and 150 feet to the right of the runway.
Alignment and Landing
To align the airplane with the runway, the pilot banked the airplane left, then right. Subsequently, the airplane landed hard on the left main wheels, followed by the nose wheel, and then the right main wheels.
Post-Accident Examination
Examination of the airplane revealed no preimpact failure of the airplane or its engines. The fuel flow of both engines had been set to allow a maximum rate of descent when the engines were at idle.
Pilot Statement
The pilot initially reported that he "didn't know what happened...the airplane just seemed to suddenly quit flying, and fell out of the sky."
