The final NTSB report was issued yesterday.
Reference NTSB web link
http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?e...02X01981&key=1. The cause of the crash was entirely attrributed to the actions of the pilot. The weather at St Augustine (25 south) was clear with 2 miles visibility and Jax International had wx above minnimums with aircraft landing successfully. It is so sad that this pilot was killed but here is the bottom line; if he had executed a missed approach at the minnimum approach altitude, he would have positively not hit the trees and terrain.
Just my personal thoughts. cub
