Narrative:The aircraft was being vectored by radar for an ILS approach. Because of a thunderstorm over the outer marker the pilot requested a short approach. This was authorized by the radar controller. During the turn onto final approach, the aircraft struck terrain approx 4.5 nm from the threshold at 325 m.
Probable cause of the accident :
The accident occurred when the aircraft descended for an undetermined reason below the assigned altitude during approach manoeuvres, in IMC conditions. It could not be established whether the pilot had control of the aircraft.
The presence of a violent thunderstorm with heavy hail and turbulence probably contributed to the accident.
