What happened
During the approach phase of flight, the pilot failed to follow the established ILS glideslope despite having the necessary glideslope data available. Due to the presence of ground fog, the visibility of the airport environment was partially obscured, which prevented the crew from realizing that the aircraft type was flying too high on both the approach and the final landing segment.
As a result of the high approach, the aircraft collided with a blast fence. This impact led to the total destruction of the airplane and caused multiple injuries among the occupants.
Findings
Several contributing factors were identified following the accident. The primary cause was the pilot's failure to fly the ILS glideslope, exacerbated by low visibility from ground fog. Additionally, the investigation noted that efforts by the FAA to coordinate with local communities to secure funding for runway safety area enhancements and the installation of approach lighting for runway 6 had not been successful.
Internal maintenance and configuration issues were also discovered within the cabin. Specifically, the passenger seats had been put together using unapproved components, and the seat belt installation was found to be incorrect.
