The pilot, by all accounts well trained and experienced in the aircraft.
The flight originated from the Centennial Airport, south of Denver, and lasted about 3 hours and 15 minutes. Weather at the time the pilot flew the approach was ½ mile visibility and snow with clouds scattered at 300 feet and overcast at 700 feet. However the approach minimums were 1 mile visibility and the MDA is 582 feet AGL. So the clouds were approximately 120 feet above minimums, and the visibility was ½ mile….less than the minimums.
Max talks about how the pilot flew the instrument approach more or less successfully, though he descended more than 200 feet below the minimums, and he started his turn for the missed approach 1.3 miles beyond the missed approach point. While he flew the approach with the autopilot, he flew the missed approach by hand, and lost control.
